IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3275 OF 2009 Vikas Namdeo Gaikwad & Ors. ..... ..... ...Applicants V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... ..... ...Respondent. Mr.Gajendra Jadhav, Adv. for the applicants. Mr.H.J.Dedhia, APP for the Respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 24th July, 2009. PC: Apprehending arrest in CR No.I-274/09 registered with Panvel city police station, Raigad for the offence punishable under sections 143, 144, 147, 148, 149, 326, 324 of IPC and 37(1) and 135 of Bombay Police Act, the present application has been filed. It is the case of the prosecution that there was petty quarrel initially on some trivial issue between applicant and the complainant and thereafter within 15/20 minutes the accused arrived at the scene of offence with 20/25 other persons with iron rods, sticks etc. and assaulted the complainant and one Akhil Shaikh. Akhil Shaikh had sustained multiple injuries including two fractures on his both legs and on hand. He was unconscious after the assault. The complainant also suffered injuries though the same are simple in nature. Having regard to the gravity of the offence and having regard to fact that the names of present applicants find place in the FIR I think this is not the fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. In the event of anticipatory bail being granted further investigation in the identification of other person who had accompanied the accused and are said to have assaulted the complainant and Akhil Shaikh would be frustrated. Hence present application stands rejected. 1
