1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2594 OF 2009 Laxman Sopan Ingale .. Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Mr.Ganesh Gole for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 18th 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.53 of 2008 of Akluj Police Station, District Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and seven others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 147, 148, 149 of IPC. 3. Mr.Gole, learned counsel for the applicant at the outset submitted that the applicant is entitled for bail on the ground of parity. He invited my attention to the orders passed by this court dated 16.2.2009 (V.M.Kanade, J.) and 7.5.2009 (Smt.V.K.Tahilramani, J.) releasing Sudam Sopan Ingale and Hanumant Sopan Ingale respectively on bail. He submitted that the role attributed to Sudam Ingale and Hanumant Ingale, and to the present applicant is identical. I have perused the FIR 2 which shows that Sudam Sopan Ingale, Hanumant Sopan Ingale, Shahaji Laxman Ingale and the present applicant were armed with sickle and they all assaulted the deceased on his leg. Mr.Saste, learned A.P.P. fairly submitted that there is no difference between the role attributed to the present applicant and the aforementioned accused, who are released on bail by this court. In the circumstances the applicant deserves to be released on bail. Hence the following order: Applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. The applicant, however, shall not enter the jurisdiction of Akluj police station pending the hearing and final disposal of the trial. The applicant shall inform his new address to the concerned police station within one week from the date of his release where he proposes to stay and he shall report to the nearest police station from his residence on every alternate Saturday between 6 pm 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.)
