Today, when the matter came up for final hearing, {2} heard learned counsel for applicants and learned APP. Perused the papers of investigation. 4. This offence is registered on the complaint of one Narayan Patil, who is a mechanic by profession. It is alleged that on 7th March 2010 at 6.00 or 6.30 p.m. the applicants and 5/7 unknown persons assaulted the complainant and snatched gold ornaments from the person of the complainant. It appears that a counter complaint has been filed against the present complainant on similar allegations in respect of same incident and the same is registered at CR No.20/2010. 5. During the course of submissions, my attention is drawn by the learned counsel for the applicants towards an affidavit which is filed by the complainant before the learned Sessions Court, Nanded in Criminal Miscellaneous Application No. 216/2010. It is contended in the said affidavit, by the complainant, that due to misunderstanding the compliant is lodged against the applicants in respect of snatching of gold ornaments, however, they were in fact misplaced. In the premise, if the affidavit is filed by the complainant himself, that the gold ornaments are not snatched by the applicants, as alleged in the complaint, then case is made out to enlarge the applicants on anticipatory bail in exercise of extra ordinary discretion vested in this Court. 6. In the result, the application is allowed. Interim {3} protection granted in favour of the applicants, is hereby confirmed and to remain in force till filing of the charge sheet.
