1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 646 OF 2010 Shri.Rohan D. Chauhan. ..Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. Mr.Abhaykumar Apte for the Applicant. Shri. Y.S.Shinde, APP. for the State. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 3/5/2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of regular bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.264/2009 registered by Kothrud Police Station for the alleged offences under Sections 143,147,148, 149, 324, 324, 302 read with 34 of the I.P.C. The deceased is one Sunil @ Pappu Tapkir. The incident in question took place on 8.8.2009 at 9.00p.m. The complainant is the mother of the deceased. The fight in question took place on the ground of teasing girl by name Gouri. It is the prosecution case that the accused No.1 Oam 2 Dharmaraj was upset because deceased had teased the said Gouri. The Police then recorded the statements of three eye witnesses namely Avinash, Vishal, and Vivek. Their statements have been recorded 5 days after the incident on 13.8.21009. As far as present applicant is concerned, the role attributed to him is that he hit with stick on the hand of the deceased causing him to fall down from the motor cycle. It is alleged that after the deceased fell down from the motor cycle, there is no blow by the applicant. The prosecution case is that he hit the pillion rider. The pillion rider has suffered minor injury. The present applicant has no motive to kill the deceased as the enmity of the deceased was with the accused No.1. It is seen that accused No.1 removed a knife and stabbed the deceased. It may be possible that ultimately the offence against the applicant may be reduced. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in pursuance of C.R. No.264/2009 registered by Kothrud 3 Police Station, the applicant may be released on bail in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight on every first and third Monday s between 11.00 a.m. and 5.00p.m. till the disposal of his trial, does not tamper with prosecution witnesses and remains present on all the dates of his trial, unless exempted. Application is disposed off. 2 Parties to act on a copy of this order duly authenticated by the registry of this court. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
