jpc ba1093-11.sxw 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO. 1093 OF 2011 Iqbal Gulab Khan ... Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Sachin U. Dhakephalkar, for the applicant Mr. J. P. Khrge, APP for the State Mr. Iqbal Mahboob Pathan-original complainant present in court. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 12th August, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Dhakephalkar, the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The only ground on which the prayer for bail is canvassed, is that the dispute between the first informant and the victim Iqbal Mahboob Pathan has been amicably settled and that the first informant now wants that the applicant should be released on bail. The affidavit filed by the first informant is taken on record. 3. As rightly submitted by Mr. Kharge, the learned APP, the offences in questions are not compoundable. It is, therefore, obvious that the prosecution shall continue. However, as regards bail, the matter is to be viewed in a different perspective. The understanding arrived at jpc ba1093-11.sxw 2 between the parties is a factor that should be taken into consideration favourably for the release of the applicant on bail. Moreover, the applicant has already remained in custody since October, 2010. 4. In the circumstances, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 5. The application is allowed. 6. The applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees thirty thousand only ) with one surety in like amount, or two sureties in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each. (A.M. THIPSAY, J.)
