1 Cr. Appln 2322/10 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2322 of 2010 Bhagwat @ Bhaya Devidas Bhosale & Anr ... Applicants versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr.P.G. Sarda for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste, AGP for the respondent. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J DATED : 21st December 2010 P.C. 1. This being the second bail application has been placed before me as per the standing orders. This bail application has been filed claiming bail on the ground that a co­accused viz. Anant @ Anand Dnyaneshwar Jadhav was granted bail vide order dated 8 March 2010. Hence the present applicants are entitled for bail on the ground of parity. 2. Perusal of the order dated 8 March 2010 shows that the bail was granted to Anant @ Anand Jadhav on two grounds. The first ground that full copy of the First Information Report was not furnished to him and that caused prejudice to him. The second ground was that two 2 Cr. Appln 2322/10 other co­accused were granted bail by an order dated 11 January 2010 passed in Criminal Application no.2696 of 2009. 3. As regards the first ground for parity, it may be noted that no averment is made in the application that the full copy of the FIR was not given to the applicant causing any prejudice to him. Hence, the first ground on which parity is claimed is not applicable. So far as the second ground is concerned, it was observed that two other co­accused were granted bail on the ground that they were not specifically named in the FIR. In the present case, the present applicants have been specifically named in the FIR which has been lodged by Mr.Rohit Sable, an eye witness to the crime. Hence, second ground of parity is also not applicable to the facts of the case. No other ground like change of circumstance was urged before me. The only ground urged was of parity which is not applicable to the facts and circumstances of the case. Hence, the application is rejected. 4. The applicants were arrested in June 2009 and it appears that trial has not commenced for a period of 18 months. If the trial does not commence within a period of six months from today on a cause not attributable to the applicants, they may re­apply for bail on the ground of delay. (D.G.KARNIK, J)
