1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO. 1583 OF 2009 Mr. Ranjeet Gautam Kamble, .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Sudhir C Halli, Advocate for the Applicant. Mrs.P. P.Shinde, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 24/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.134 of 2007 of Haveli Police Station, Pune. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 363, 364 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The prosecution case rests on circumstantial evidence. T 2 There are statements of witnesses, who state that they had seen the applicant with the deceased. Wife of the deceased-Surekha Lokhande has stated that on 23.4.2007 in the morning the deceased had gone for work with the applicant. Thereafter, there is another statement of Dhanaji Kakade, who states that on 23.4.2007 at 7 pm he had seen the deceased with the applicant and one another. At 10.30 pm on the same day, Sunil Tawde, another witness, had seen the applicant and the deceased together and thereafter Anita Tawde, the wife of accused no.2, has stated that she had served dinner to the deceased, the applicant and the second accused on 24.4.2007 at 3 am. Thereafter, the deceased is missing and his whereabouts are not known till this date. It is against this backdrop, the investigating officer has made request for narco analysis test of the applicant. Ms.Shinde, learned APP, informs the court that their request for narco analysis test of the applicant is on the waiting list and the test will be done within next 6-8 weeks. Keeping that in view and considering the statements of the aforesaid witnesses, I am not inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence, the application is rejected. It is open to the applicant to apply for bail afresh after narco analysis test is conducted. While passing this order, I shall not be understood to 3 have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
