Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. This is an application for being released on bail in C.R.No.I-140 of 2006 of Palghar police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having committed an offence punishable under section 364-A, 325 readwith 34 of IPC. It is on the allegations that the applicant alongwith three others committed the alleged offence which was witnessed by two others apart from the complainant himself. It appears that the complainant managed to escape. According to learned A.P.P. prior to alleged incident telephone calls were made by the applicant seeking ransom amount. The applicant seems to be habitual offender agaisnt whom 11 cases are pending and all are of almost similar nature. It appears that while on bail in another offence, he has committed instant offence and even thereafter an offence in 2007 has also been registered against him under section 307 of IPC. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, in my opinion, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the application is rejected. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in the order.
