1 CA-3900.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE  CRIMINAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3900 OF 2010 Janardan Mahadu Gondhali .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri N. Deepak Rao i/b N. Deepak & Co. for the Applicant. Ms S.D. Shinde, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: SEPTEMBER 14, 2010 P.C: The applicant seeks bail on the ground of parity. One Balaram Rama Gondhali who was similarly armed with a stick and had participated in the assault on the victim has been admitted to bail by this Court by order dated 13-11-2009, passed in Criminal Application No.4326 of 2009. The learned APP opposes the prayer contending that the stick seized at the instance of the applicant had stains of blood as was found in the report of the Forensic Science Laboratory. The report shows that the blood stains were disintegrated and the report was inconclusive. In view of 2 CA-3900.10 this, it cannot be said that the case of the applicant can be distinguished from that of Balaram Rama Gondhali, who has been admitted to bail. Hence the applicant be released on bail in C.R.No.I-171 of 2008, registered by the Sheel Daighar Police Station, in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. The applicant shall report to the Sheel Daighar Police Station once in a month and shall not threaten or intimidate the prosecution witnesses. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
