CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 2nd September, 2008. DATED : 2nd September, 2008. DATED : 2nd September, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R. No.139 of 2008 of Dharavi Police Station. The said case is under Sections 364A, 365, 368 of IPC. 3. The prosecution case is that the applicant along with others abducted Ayaz Khan. Thereafter, Rs.5,70,000/- was demanded from his brother in order to free him. After Ayaz Khan was abducted, he was kept confined in one place. There the applicant along with other assaulted him. Electric current was given by one of the ..(2).. co-accused to Ayaz Khan. Demand was made for ransom for Rs.5,70,000/- from Fasad Khan who is the brother of Ayaz Khan. Fasad Khan the brother of Ayaz Khan agreed to give the said amount. However, Fasad Khan informed the police about the fact. As it was agreed that the ransom would be given, the applicant along with other accused put Ayaz Khan into a vehicle. Ayaz Khan was blindfolded at that time. As the police had been informed, they were on the look out for Ayaz Khan and the accused. The car in which Ayaz Khan was there, came to be stopped by the police. At that time, it was found that Ayaz Khan was sitting in the car with blindfold on his eyes and the present applicant was also in the car. Thus, it is seen that the applicant was caught red-handed along with the abducted person. The case is of a serious nature. Looking to the material on record, I do not think that this is a fit case to grant bail. Application for bail is rejected. 4. The learned Sessions Judge shall not influenced by any of the observations made in this order while deciding the trial. ..(3).. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
