1 Appln 3147-10 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3147 OF 2010 Deepak alias Papya Subhash Bhosale..Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mr.P.G.Sarda, Advocate, for the Applicant Mrs.P.P.Shinde, APP, for the Respondent - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2010 P.C. . The applicant seeks bail on two grounds in connection with C.R.No.57 of 2009 for the offence punishable under Section 302 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Dattawadi Police Station, Pune. First, he is juvenile and secondly, there is no evidence to connect him to the crime. Investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed. As far as applicant s being a juvenile is concerned, the learned APP points out that there is Birth Certificate of 2 Appln 3147-10 the applicant issued by a School, where the applicant was taking education which shows that he was not juvenile at the time of offence on 27th April, 2009 since he was born on 1st October, 1990. However, the learned trial Judge would undoubtedly consider the claim of the applicant as juvenile before proceeding with the trial and examine the evidence that may be tendered in this behalf. 2. As far as the merits of the matter go, prosecution relies on statement of witnesses, who state that the victim was with applicant and had quarrel with the applicant and states that sickles were recovered but result of analysis of blood stains from the Forensic Science Laboratory are inconclusive. 3. In view of this, since investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed, his being at large is unlikely to prejudice fair trial given the nature of evidence 3 Appln 3147-10 collected against him. The applicant be released on bail on P.R.Bond of Rs.50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.50,000/- on the condition that the applicant shall attend police station concerned on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month between 10.00 a.m. to 1.00 a.m. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
