The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr. Priyal G. Sarda for the applicant. Smt. M. H. Mhatre APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 26 th April, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.201 of 2009 registered by the Mangalwedha police station for alleged offences under Sections 302 & 201 read with 34 of IPC. The deceased is one Mohansing Gulabsing Rajput and the prosecution case is that the deceased was having illicit relationship with the wife of the present applicant. The incident in question is said to have taken place at 5.30 P.M on 15.10.2009. The police have recorded the statement of one Babusing who claimed that he saw the present applicant going to the house of the deceased at about 5.30 P.M. He states that since the deceased did not return back, at 7.00 P.M he went to the house of the present applicant. He found the present applicant, his wife and son present in the house but they denied that deceased had earlier come to their house. The deceased was found floating in the well on the next day. The circumstances are, last seen together and the finding of blood at the house and clothes of the three accused. The three accused are the present applicant, his wife and the minor son who is treated as a juvenile. I have seen the 2 C.A report. It has not been possible to establish that the blood group is that of the deceased. The exact sequence of events which were occurred in the house are not known. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.201 of 2009 registered by the Mangalwedha police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he reports to the I.O once a fortnight on 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month till the disposal of his trial and also does not tamper with any witnesses and remains present on all dates of his trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
