DATED : 04TH MAY, 2011. P. C. : 1. Heard rival submissions on the bail application preferred by the applicant who is convicted for the offence punishable under Section 325 of IPC. He was sentenced to suffer RI for three years and to pay fine of Rs.10,000/- in default further RI for six months. Reportedly the fine amount has already been paid. 2. By earlier order of this Court, appeal is already admitted and bail application is adjourned and accordingly taken today for disposal. 2 4.APPA.31O.11-APEAL.172-11 3. Admittedly, during the trial the present applicant was on bail in sum of Rs.5,000/- with sureties. Though initially the charge against the applicant was for the offence punishable under Section 307 of IPC it was brought down to Section 325 IPC considering the nature of injuries sustained by the victim though apparently an axe was used as a weapon of offence. 4. Considering the quantum of punishment inflicted and considering that during the trial the applicant was on bail, present application is allowed. The applicant shall be released on the same bail as granted by the trial Court with fresh bond to be executed before the concerned Sessions Court. Accordingly, present application for bail is disposed of. (A. R. JOSHI, J.) PPD
