IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2355 OF 2009 Shri Sameer B. Chandere .. Applicant V /s. The State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. S / S hri S. M. Oak, i /b. Sagar A. Joshi for Applicant. Shri H. J. Dedhia, APP for the Respondent State. CORAM: R. G. KETKAR, J. (Vacation Judge) DATED: 1 9.05.20 0 9. P.C.: 1. Heard Shri S. M. Oak, Learned Counsel for the applicant and Shri H. J. Dedhia, Learned APP for the Respondent State. 2. The Applicant has applied for a nticipatory bail in C. R. No. 105 of 2009 for offences u nder section 326, 143, 147, 148, 149, 427 r /w. 34 of I. P. C. registered at Chaturs u nghi Police Station. It is the case of complainant Shri Satyawan Balwadkar, that at 10.30 p. m. on March 15, 2009, the complainant alongwith his friends, Shashikant Balwadkar a nd Shri Amol Balwadkar were halted in hotel which is situated near near Balewadi Octroi, Pune. At that time, the applicant and others ass u alted the complainant. The applicant, apart from other grounds h as prayed for enlargement on anticipatory bail on the ground of parity. Perusal of the statement of the complainant Satyawan Balwadkar recorded on March 16, 2009, indicates that applicant was ass u alted with bamboo alongwith his brother Kiran Chandore. It is s ub mitted on behalf of the applicant that all the other persons alleged to h ave assa ulted complainant have been released either on anticipatory bail or regular bail. : 2 : 3. The learned APP invited my attention to the statement of Shashikant Balwadkar recorded on March 20, 2009 which indicates that the applicant was having iron rod and with that he assa ulted the complainant. Comparison of the statement of the complainant dated March 16, 2009 with the statement of Sharad recorded on March 20, 2009, prima facie indicates contradiction. Considering this fact as also the fact that all other accused are already enlarged of bail, I am of the view that the applicant deserves to be enlarged on the anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order. O R D E R 1. In the event of arrest of the applicant Sameer B. Chandere in connection with C. R. No. 105 of 2009 registered with Chat us hr u ngi Police Station, Pune u nder section 326 143, 147, 148, 149, 427 r /w. 34 of I. P. C., he be enlarged on bail. 2. The applicant shall execute P. R. Bond of Rs.2,000 /- with one solvent s urety in like amount; 3. The applicant s hall attend the police station once in a week between 4.00 p. m. a nd 6.00 p. m. for the period of one week from today and thereafter as and when called by the I. O. till the filing of the charge s heet. 4. The applicant shall not directly or indirectly tamper with the evidence. 5. The applicant s hall not commit an offence similar of which he is accused. Application stands disposed off. Sd /- (R.G.KETKAR,J.)
