1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1703 OF 2010 Shri Bhalchandra Pundlik Pawashe )..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr. V. V. Purwant i/by A. S. Rao for the applicant. Smt. V. R. Bhosale APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 28 th April, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.I-97 of 2009 registered by the Manpada police station, Dombivli for alleged offences under Sections 394, 397, 341 & 363 read with 34 of IPC. There are only 2 accused in this case. It appears that the offence may ultimately come down to robbery punishable under Section 392 which is not punishable with life imprisonment. Though there is substantial material, the offence as committed, is not punishable with life and admittedly no injuries were caused though the accused were alleged to have armed with dangerous weapons like koyta. In these circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.I-97/2009 registered by Manpada police station, Dombivli, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the I.O once a fortnight on every 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month till the disposal of the trial and he 2 will not tamper with the witnesses and remain present on all dates of his trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
