1 ABA: 615/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.615 OF 2011 Shri Ravi Lahoji Chandane .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Mr. P.M. Pradhan, Advocate for applicant. Mrs. A.A. Mane, APP for State- respondent. Coram : Smt. R.P.SondurBaldota, J. Date : 29th July, 2011 P.C. 1. The applicant herein seeks anticipatory bail in connection with C.R. No.I 43 of 2011 filed by Murbad Police Station, Kalyan under Section 302, 120-B read with 34 Indian Penal Code. Perusal of the charge-sheet shows that the applicant was not present at the place of incident. He is arrayed as an accused as a conspirator, in view of the fact that he belongs to the same gang as the arrested accused persons, which has rivalry with gang headed by the deceased. The police papers indicate, prima facie, that the real conspirator is Bandya Chandane, who is already arrested. It 2 ABA: 615/2011 is seen that at the time of the incident of murder, the applicant was in Mumbai, attending to his examination at Siddharth Law College. In these circumstances, though the applicant is arrayed as an accused in the crime registered, since the main culprits, who committed actual assault have been arrested, there is no need for the custodial interrogation of the applicant. Hence, the application is allowed. 2. In the event of his arrest in C.R. No.I-43 of 2011 registered at Murbad Police Station, Kalyan for the offence punishable under Sections 302, 120-B read with 34 Indian Penal Code, the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount. The applicant shall visit Murbad Police Station twice a week i.e. on Friday and Monday between 11 am. to 2 pm. The applicant shall not visit Murbad on any other day for any other purpose except with the permission of this Court. The applicant shall also not in any way, directly or indirectly contact the first informant or any other member of his family. He shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him for disclosing such facts to the Court 3 ABA: 615/2011 or to any Police Officer. The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court. (Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J)
