Beed .. Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra through Police Inspector, Police Station, Patoda .. Respondent Mr. A.B. Gaikwad, Advocate for the Applicant Smt.R.R. Mane, APP for the Respondent-State CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 25th JUNE, 2009 ORAL ORDER:- 1] The applicant is seeking bail in crime no. 32 of 2009 of Patoda Police Station, Dist. Beed for offences punishable under section 394 of the Indian Penal Code. 2] The applicant is aged about 19 years and was caught almost on the spot where the incident of robbery took place. It is alleged that the (2) CRI.APP. 1624.2009 applicant and two others snatched away a gold mangalsutra from the complainant's neck. When the complainant raised alarm, the passers-bye chased the robbers and the applicant could be caught. The other two robbers escaped. Unfortunately the other two accused are yet not arrested and the applicant even though arrested immediately after the incident, did not have the stolen ornaments. This indicates that the applicant was not the robber, who actually snatched the ornaments. The applicant is in custody since last 2-1/2 months. The investigation, as far as his role is concerned is also over. The applicant is permanent resident of Beed and so the Police can keep watch on him after he is released on bail. 3] The applicant is released on bail of Rs.15000/- (Rs. Fifteen Thousand) with one surety in the like amount. 4] Application stands disposed of. Sd/- (A.V. NIRGUDE, J.) arp/25june9/cr1624.09
