As regards the Applicant No.2-Ganpatrao - though his presence is spoken about in the F.I.R., I find that no specific role has been attributed to him. A number of co-accused have already been released on bail. I am informed that there is a cross case arising out of the incident and the accused in the cross case have also been granted interim protection in their application for anticipatory bail. 5. Considering all these aspects, it would be proper to grant anticipatory bail to the Applicant No.2. 6. In the event of his arrest in C.R. No.14 of 2011 of Hupari Police Station, Dist. Kolhapur, the Applicant No.2-Ganpatrao be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/-, with one surety in like amount, on the condition to attend the Police Station everyday, between 11:00 am. to 2:00 p.m., for a period of one week from tomorrow and, thereafter, as and when required by the I.O., for investigation/interrogation.
