1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO.2800 OF 2009 Mayur Chandrakant Bhintade .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Sachin R Pawar, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 08/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.10 of 2009 of Sahakarnagar Police Station, Pune. The crime has been registered against the applicant and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 143,147, 148,149,307, 395 and 427 of IPC, sections 3(25) and 4 (25) of the Arms Act, section 37(1) read with 135 of the Bombay Police Act. 3. Mr. Pawar, learned counsel for the applicant, at the outset, invited my attention to the order passed by this Court T 2 dated 30.6.2009 in Criminal Application No.2556 of 2009 enlarging the co-accused on bail and submitted that the applicant is entitled for bail on the ground of parity. He submitted that as a matter of fact the role assigned to the said co-accused, was severe than the role assigned to the present applicant. Mr Saste, learned APP, does not dispute the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant. I have perused the order dated 30.6.2009 and, in my opinion, not only on the ground of parity but even on merits, continued detention of the applicant is not necessary. Hence, the following order The applicant is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with two local sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm till conclusion of the trial. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.) 3
