DATE : 14/10/2008 DATE : 14/10/2008 DATE : 14/10/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr.Pradhan, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr.Dediya, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in Criminal Case No.105 of 2008, pending before the learned JMFC, Mohol arising out of MCR No.14 of 2008 of Mohol Police Station, Solapur Gramin. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and five others under sections 307,498-A,323,504,506,420 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The complainant has filed a private complaint against her husband, in-laws and the present applicant, who is a friend of the husband of the complainant. It appears that the applicant had filed Criminal Application No.2987 of 2008 in this court and that application was disposed of vide order dated 25.9.2008 by granting temporary bail to the applicant till 16.10.2008. Such order was passed since the complainant had expressed a desire to amicably settle the matter with her husband and the in-laws. The period of temporary bail will be expiring on 16.10.2008 and hence the present applicant has once again filed the present application seeking bail pending hearing and final disposal of the said case. Mr Pradhan, learned counsel for the applicant, submits that the applicant is not aware whether the complainant has settled with her husband and the in-laws. He submits that there are no direct and specific allegations made against the applicant as are made against the husband and the in-laws. The applicant is a friend of the complainant’s husband who, according to the complainant, allegedly helped her husband and the in-laws in performing the marriage of the complainant knowing fully well that her husband was impotent. The only allegations against the applicant are that he had unnatural relation with her husband. Keeping in view overall facts and circumstances of the case and considering that the period during which he was granted temporary bail by this court he has not misused the liberty, I am inclined to allow this application for bail. Hence, the following order. 4. The temporary bail granted by the order dated 25.9.2008 in Criminal Application No.2987 of 2008 to remain operative during pendency of C.C.No.105 of 2008 pending before the learned JMFC, Mohol. 5. 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 this order.
