1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5143 OF 2009 Janardhan Prashant Pawar ....Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent ----- Shri Dilip Bodake for Applicant Shri H.J. Dedhia  APP for State ---- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 7TH DECEMBER, 2009 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The Applicant has been arrested in connection with an offence punishable under sections 395, 397 and 341 of the Indian Penal Code, which is registered vide C.R. No. 23 of 2009 with Talbid Police Station, Tal. Karad, Dist. Satara. 3. No recovery has been made at the instance of the present Applicant. One person was injured in the said incident where the robbery had taken place. However, no specific role has been attributed to the present Applicant. There are no prior criminal antecedents 1 against the present Applicant. He is a permanent resident of village Aundi, Tal. Shirala, Dist. Sangli. Since the trial is not likely to come up for hearing in near future and since the charge sheet has been filed, continued detention of the Applicant as an undertrial prisoner for an indefinite period, in my view, is not necessary. Therefore, the Applicant deserves to be released on bail 4. The Applicant shall be released on bail in C.R. No. 23 of 2009 registered with Talbid Police Station, Tal. Karad, Dist. Satara in a sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. He shall report to Shirala Polcie Station twice in a month. The Applicant shall not threaten any of the prosecution witnesses. The Applicant, however, is permitted to attend the Sessions Court at Karad. 5. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE- J.)
