CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE,J. DATE : 08/04/200 DATE : 08/04/200 DATE : 08/04/2009 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.N.100 of 2008 of Vaduj police station, Dist-Satara. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 393,394, 397,302 read with 34 of the IPC. 3. The applicant and the co-accused have allegedly committed murder of the applicant’s father on 5.8.2008 at about 11 pm. Initially, a complaint was filed by the applicant in which he alleged that certain dacoits had attacked their house and they had tried to break in the house. The deceased was sleeping outside the house and the dacoits, after assaulting the deceased, ran away from the scene of offence. Thereafter, the applicant lodged an FIR. The deceased was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead. After the complaint was lodged the police suspected something fishy in the complaint filed by the applicant and,therefore, the applicant and the co-accused were interrogated wherein they allegedly admitted that the co-accused had illicit relations with the applicant and therefore they killed the deceased. Except the confessional statement recorded by the police, there is no other evidence on record to connect the applicant with the alleged offence. Mr Shinde, learned APP, fairly submitted that apart from the confessional statement and the suspicious conduct of the applicant, there is no other material on record to connect the applicant with the alleged offence. The chargehseet has already been filed and the evidence on record prima facie is not sufficient for the purpose of convicting the applicant. Hence, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. . The applicant is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.5000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall attend the concerned police station on first Saturday of every month between 11 am and 2 pm. . While allowing this application, 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. . The application is disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
