CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 10TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 10TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 10TH DECEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned APP’s for the State. 2. The applicants in both the applications are seeking bail in C.R.No.126 of 2008 of Ratnagiri City police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and three others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 307, 143, 147, 148, 323, 504, 506(ii) of IPC 2 2 2 and sections 5 and 27(i) of the Arms Act. 3. It appears that there was a free fight between two groups and both the groups lodged complaints against each other. The incident occured on 19.8.2008 at 12.40 pm. At the relevant time the applicant in criminal application No.4402 of 2008 allegedly attempted to assault the complainant with sword whereas the applicant in criminal application No.4403 of 2008 assaulted the complainant with fist and kick blows. The complainant has sustained a minor contusion on his nose and the said injury has been described by the doctor as simple. The accused in the cross complaint have already been granted bail. Keeping that in view and considering the nature of allegation and manner in which the alleged incident occured I am inclined to enlarge the applicants on bail. Hence the following order: . Both the applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that they shall not enter the jurisdiction of Ratnagiri City police station, except for attending the date/s in the court and as and when called by the police for a period of six months. During this period, they shall report to the nearest police station from the 3 3 3 place of their residence on every alternate Saturday between 7 and 8 pm. They shall also keep their residential address informed to the concerned police station. After six months they shall continue to report to the concerned police station (Ratnagiri City police station) on every Saturday 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
