1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2550 OF 2009 Sarjerao Shivram Thakare .. Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Mr.S.K.Shinde i/b Sagar Kasar for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 12th June, 2009 P.C. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.18 of 2009 of Satana Police Station, District Nashik. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and five others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 306, 498-A, 304(B), 323, 504, 506 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The prosecution case, in short, is that the applicant and five others subjected the deceased to harassment with a view to coercing her and her family members to meet unlawful demand of monies which drove her to commit suicide. I have perused the FIR. The allegations against the present applicant and other 2 accused are common and general in nature. All other accused have already been released on bail. The applicant and the deceased got married in 1996. Most of the allegations appearing in the FIR are covering the period almost four years prior to the alleged incident. Having regard to overall facts and circumstances of the case and general nature of allegations against the accused persons I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the following order: The applicant is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm till conclusion of the trial. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D.B. BHOSALE, J.)
