1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2375 OF 2009 1. Sandeep Shivaji Pakhre .. 2. Santosh Anant Sakpal .. Applicants. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Mrs.Pranothi Pawar for the applicants. Mr.K.V.Saste A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 17th June, 2009 P.C. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.113 of 2009 of Samtanagar Police Station, Mumbai. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 363, 376 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. Mrs.Pawar, learned counsel for the applicant, at the outset, invited my attention to the order dated 4.6.2009 passed by the Sessions Court in Bail Application No.226 of 2009 releasing Roshan Ramesh Revale and Rohan Ramesh Revale on bail and submitted that the present applicants are also entitled 2 for bail on parity. I have perused the statements of the complainant and also of the prosecutrix and I find the allegations against the present applicants and against Roshan Revale and Rohan Revale are similar. Mr.Saste, learned A.P.P. could not and did not point out any difference between the role attributed and allegedly played by the present applicants and the role played by Roshan Revale and Rohan Revale. Moreover, the applicants are hardly 18 and 23 years old boys. It is in this backdrop, in my opinion, the applicants are entitled for bail on parity. Hence the following order: Applicants to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicants shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm till filing of the charge-sheet and thereafter on every alternate Saturday between 6 pm 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.)
