1 CA-5090.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE  CRIMINAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5090 OF 2010 Nagesh alias Tamma Durgappa Kusalkar .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Anr. .... Respondents Ms Pranali Kakade i/b Shri S.P. Hulyalkar for the Applicant. Ms R.V. Newton, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: NOVEMBER 24, 2010 P.C: The applicant seeks bail on the ground that the co-accused who had been also named by the eye-witness as the perpetrator of the assault by a sharp weapon has been admitted to bail. The applicant has been named in the FIR as the person who had used a sword for assaulting the victim. Though the sword has not been recovered and instead a sickle has been recovered, it does not reduce the gravity of the allegation made against the applicant in the FIR. There would have been no reason for the victim to single out the applicant & name 2 CA-5090.10 him as the person armed with sword. The application is, therefore, rejected. The learned trial Judge would expedite the hearing of the case. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
