The applicant is seeking bail in connection with C.R.No.40 of 2008 registered with Sangola Police Station, for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 326, 337, 504, 507 and 427 of Indian Penal Code. 3. The learned Counsel appearing for the applicant brought to my notice that by an order dated 18th March, 2008, passed by this Court (Coram : (Coram : (Coram : D.G.Karnik,J.) D.G.Karnik,J.) D.G.Karnik,J.), bail has been granted in C.R.No.40 of 2008 in favour of Abasaheb Vithoba Vhanmane. The role played by the present applicant Navnath and Abasaheb Vithoba Vhanmane is almost identical and that the present applicant be released on bail on the ground of parity alone. 4. In these circumstances of the case, on the ground of parity, I am inclined to grant bail to the present applicant, subject to the following terms and conditions :- (a) The applicant, arrested in connection with C.R.No.40 of 2008 registered with Sangola Police Station, shall be enlarged on bail on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one or two local sureties to make up the said amount. (b) The applicant shall report to the concerned Police Station once a month between 1st and 5th day of British calender month till conclusion of the trial. He shall co-operate with the investigating agency for disposal of the case. (c) The order of bail will be given effect only after the applicant furnishes to the investigating officer the details about his place of residence and address where he proposes to stay after he is enlarged on bail. The applicant will not change his residential address thereafter till the conclusion of trial without prior intimation to the investigating officer. (d) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement or threat or pressurise any prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with the prosecution evidence. (e) It is needless to mention that breach of any of the conditions by the applicant shall result in cancellation of bail. (f) Any observation made in this order shall not be construed as finding or expression on merits of the case at the time of trial. 5. Application stands disposed of accordingly. (V.C. DAGA, J.) (V.C.
