Mr.Indrajeet Joshi Advocate for Applicant Mr.S.S.Pednekar APP for the State ... CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATE : AUGUST 26, 2008 DATE : AUGUST 26, 2008 DATE : AUGUST 26, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in CR No.180 of 2008 of Shahupuri Police Station, Kolhapur. The said case is under Sections 307, 394, 363 r.w. 34 of IPC. 3. Rahul Jadhav lodged his FIR wherein it is stated that co-accused Vijay, Ranjit and Abhijit and one more person who is their friend, have abducted him in one car and asked him to call a witness in a criminal case filed against Vijay. [-2-] When Rahul refused to do so, they gave him kick and fist blows. Thereafter, Vijay, Ranjit and Abhijit caught hold of the complainant and asked 4th accused to crush his head under wheels of Maruti car by holding head of the complainant Rahul under the wheel. The 4th person sat in a car in order to do so, however, the complainant managed to escape and ran away. In the said incident, injuries were caused to the complainant and he also came to be robbed of his mobile phone and cash. 4. The case of the prosecution is that the applicant is the 4th person who has not been named in the FIR. The learned APP has pointed out that the name of the applicant has been disclosed in the interrogation of the other accused. No doubt, the statement of the co-accused cannot be relied upon to convict the applicant, however, in the present case, the investigation is at a nascent stage and at this stage, the statement of the accused can certainly be looked into. Looking to the facts of this case, I do not think that this is a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Application is rejected.
