Mr S D Sirpurkar Adv. for applicant Mr S B Ahirkar, APP for Respondent .......... CORAM : A.P.BHANGALE, J. DATED : MARCH 8, 2010 . Heard. 2 By this application, the applicant prays for grant of bail in connection with Crime No.42/2009 registered at Gondia Police Station, for offence punishable u/s 302, 323 of the IPC, read with other Acts also. Learned Advocate for the applicant contended that co- accused were granted bail and that the accused, at the most, may claim benefit of sudden provocation if evidence of eye witnesses is to be considered in the trial Court. It is also contended that the applicant is in jail since long and is required to be release don bail, so that he could able to take care of his mother and to look after his family. 3 Learned APP objected grant of bail on the ground that the statements of as many as four eye witnesses indicate that the present applicant was actively involved in the alleged crime of murder, inasmuch as he had assaulted the deceased with knife. The said weapon 2 of offence is also recovered at his instance. The deceased had died as a result of injury on vital organ of body i.e. lung and hemorrhagic shock due to stab injury. It appears that the earlier also the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Gondia rejected the prayer for bail on 14.5.2009 pending sessions trial against the present applicant. The applicant has given his address as R/o Sundernagar, Gondia which appears insufficient and vague address without house number, identification of lane, area etc in the town of Gondia. That being so, I am not inclined to grant bail. However, the trial Court is expected to complete hearing of the sessions case as early as possible and preferably within a period of six months from today. Application is rejected. JUDGE sahare
