1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.104 OF 2010 Mohammed Ishtiyak Mohd. Ayyub @ Puriya )..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Smt. S.A. Dhamale for the applicant. Mr. A.S. Gadkari APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 26 th April, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of regular bail. The applicant is one amongst 14 persons who are shown as accused in C.R.No.I-70/2008 registered by the Azad Nagar police station for alleged offences under Sections 302, 307, 452, 143, 147, 148, 149 & 506 of IPC and under Sections 4 & 25 of the Arms Act. The deceased is one Mohammed Sharif Vali. Though there are six eye witnesses including injured eye witness, it is an admitted position in so far as this applicant is concerned, that there is no overtact though some of the witnesses state that he was armed with the knife. This fact may possibly have reflection as to the question whether he had a common object. Chemical Analyser report does not indicate that there is any blood stains on the knife. In these circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.I-70/2008 registered by the Azad Nagar police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating officer once a fortnight on 1st and 3rd 2 Mondays of every month till the disposal of the trial and subject to further condition that he will not tamper with any of the witnesses and will remain present on all dates of his trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
