..(1).. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2500 OF 2008 Mr.Datta Manohar Jadhav. ..Applicant. Versus Versus Versus State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. .... Mr.Sachin Thombare, Adv. for applicant. Ms.A.T.Jhaveri, APP, for State. .... CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 1st August, 2008. DATED : 1st August, 2008. DATED : 1st August, 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.29 of 2007 of Vishrantwadi Police Station. The said case is under Section 302 of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that one Rajan was having affair with Rohini. Deceased Ashish was treating Rohini like his sister. However, Rajan was not willing to marry Rohini. Hence Ashish was insisting to Rajan that he should marry Rohini. On account of this, Rajan with the help ..(2).. of the present applicant who is his friend committed murder of Ashish. 4. No eye witness has implicated the applicant. The only material against the applicant is that blood stained knife and blood stained clothes have been recovered at the instance of the applicant. The learned APP has submitted that blood of "A" group was found on the knife and the blood group of the deceased was "A" group. As far as this aspect is concerned, the learned Advocate for the applicant has drawn my attention to the panchanama under which the knife came to be seized. On perusal of the panchanama, it is seen that the panchanama does not state that there was any blood on the knife. Moreover, it is seen that the knife was thrown in the river and it came to be taken out from the said river and seized by the police. As far as clothes are concerned, the panchanama relating to the seizure of the clothes does not mention any blood stains. Looking to all these facts, I find that there is no reliable material to connect the applicant with the crime. Hence, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. ..(3).. 5. Applicant - Mr.Datta Manohar Jadhav to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. The applicant shall report to Vishrantwadi Police Station once in a fortnight, till conclusion of the trial. 6. Criminal Application is disposed of accordingly. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
