The Applicant is accused No.13 in a case registered with Foujdar Chaudi Police Station, Solapur being C.R. No. 159/2004. The applicant is not named in the FIR. The only role abscribed to the applicant is that he gave shelter to the prime accused. To support this position, reliance is placed on the statements of Nagesh Nagmode and Jaffar Mulla. On a fair reading of the statements of these two persons, only asserstion made is that they had seen prime accused in the residence of the applicant. The 2 learned APP fairly accepts that there is no material on record to even remotely suggest that the applicant had knowledge of the activity of the prime accused or that he had knowingly given shelter to the prime accused. If it is so, the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail on certain conditions as under :- The Applicant be released on bail in connection with C.R.No. 159/2004, registered with Foujdar Chaudi Police Station, Solapur on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- (Rs.
