The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.82 of 2008 of Hatkananagle police station, Dist.Kolhapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and three others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 109, 147, 148, 149, 120-B of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that the applicants were hired by co-accused - Alka Patil for eliminating her husband. She had agreed to pay Rs.2 Lacs to the applicants and a part of the amount was allegedly paid by her. There is no eye witness to the incident. This is a case of circumstantial evidence and 2 2 2 circumstances relied upon by the prosecution against the applicants are the telephone calls made by them to each other and to the co-accused - Alka Patil at the relevant time. Counsel for the applicant submits that there are no other circumstances on record to connect the applicants with the alleged crime. Learned A.P.P. could not point out any other material from the record to connect the applicants with the alleged crime. The main accused - Alka Patil has already been granted bail by this court. In the circumstances I am inclined to enlarge the applicants on bail. Hence the following order: . The applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- each with one or two sureties of the like amount subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 10 and 11 am till conclusion of the trial. The application is disposed of. . 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order. 3 3 3 (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
