1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI. APPLICATION NO.2364 OF 2009 Malang Shankar Shende .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Ujwal Agandsurve, Advocate for the Applicant. Mrs. P. P. Shinde , APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 02/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No. 261 of 2005 of Foujadar Chawadi Police Station, Solapur. The crime has been registered against the applicant and ten others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 364, 365,302, 201, 120-B of IPC. 3. The prosecution case, in short, is that the main accused by names Revensidha and Basavraj were the step-uncles of the deceased-Rajesh. On the death of father of deceased-Rajesh, T 2 a dispute arose about running of a factory, which was in joint management and, therefore, the accused are said to have conspired with other accused persons to kill Rajesh Loni and accordingly Rajesh Loni was killed on 20.9.2005 at about 6 pm. 4. Mr. Agandsurve, learned counsel for the applicant, at the outset, invited my attention to the orders passed by this court releasing Ambadas Hanumanta Talate, Shivaji Tulshiram Koyalkar, Basavraj @ Basu Gurusidhappa Loni, Popat Dattu @ Dattatray Mane and Chandrakant Shinde, so also the supplementary statement of the complainant dated 23.11.2005 and submitted that the applicant is entitled for bail on parity and also on merits. He submitted that some of the accused, who are released on bail, played similar role while some accused played severe role than the present applicant. This statement of Mr Agandsurve, learned counsel for the applicant, has not been disputed by the learned APP. Considering the role attributed to the present applicant and the fact that the co-accused, who played similar role, have been released on bail, so also investigation being over and the chargehseet having been filed, in my opinion, the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail. The applicant is directed to be enlarged on bail in 3 the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm till conclusion of the trial. 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 uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
