1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 187 OF 2009 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 207 OF 2008 Ananda Martand Dighe & Anr. ...Applicants Versus The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent. Mr. S.K. Shinde for the Applicants Mr. V.B. Konde Deshmukh, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: MARCH 18, 2009 P.C.:- The accused have been convicted under Sections 302, 120-B and 341 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the applicants seeks bail of the applicants on the ground that even the eye-witness, i.e., son of the deceased, who was a minor, had not attributed any role to accused Nos. 2 and 5. According to this witness, he was accompanying his father on the motor-cycle when his father was allegedly murdered by the 6 accused. Although he had told 2 that accused No.1 had given a blow with axe, he had attributed a role to all the 6 accused persons. 2. It will not be appropriate, at this stage, to go deeper into the evidence, as it may prejudice either the prosecution or the defence in the appeal. But we do not find a case for grant of bail to the accused persons at this stage. This application is dismissed. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J.
