Mrs.V.R.Bhosale, APP for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & R.Y. GANOO,JJ. December 8, 2009. P.C. 1. Heard Mrs.Mohite-Dere, the learned counsel for the applicants. Mrs.Bhosale, the learned APP appears for the State of Maharashtra. 2. This is an application for temporary bail so as to attend the wedding ceremonies in the family of the son and daughter of applicant no.1 and 2 scheduled to be held on 11th December 2 2009 at village Sonai, Taluka Indapur, Dist. Pune. Mrs.Mohite- Dere states that applicant no.1 – Laxman is already on parole and, therefore, this application survives for applicant nos.2 to 5. 3. The applicants have been suffering life sentence and in Criminal Appeal No.811 of 2006 filed by them their prayer for being released on bail was rejected by this Court. 4. Mrs.Bhosale, the learned APP on taking instructions from the concerned police station, submitted that it would not be safe to release all the four applicants on temporary bail, more so because the complainant party is also from the same village. 5. We have considered the submissions made by both the parties and we deem it appropriate that applicant no.2 is released on temporary bail for four days and the remaining applicants are allowed to attend the marriage under the escort of the jail personnel to attend the marriage on 11/12/2009 and some marriage ceremonies in the night of the same day and they should be taken back to the very same jail by 10 p.m. on 12/12/2009. 3 6. Hence we direct that applicant no.2 – Vitthal Ganpat Parekar be released on temporary bail for the period from 10/12/2009 to 13/12/2009 and he shall surrender to the Yerwada Central Prison before 10 a.m. on 14/12/2009 and he shall be released on bail of Rs.20,000/- with each surety of Rs. 10,000/- and PR bond of Rs.20,000/-. While on temporary bail, he will report to the Indapur Police Station on 10th, 12th and 13th December 2009 between 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. 7. So far as applicant nos.3 to 5 are concerned, we direct the Superintendent of Yerwada Central Prison at Pune to take due steps so as to enable them to attend the wedding ceremonies under escort on 11th December 2009 by 2 p.m. and they shall be brought back to the same prison before 10 p.m. on 12th December 2009. Application is disposed off accordingly. 8. Writ to go forthwith. 9. In addition, authenticated copies be provided. (R.Y.GANOO,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
