The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-26/2007 of Kolsewadi police station, Dist. Thane. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and two others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 452, 395, 504, 506 r/w 34 of the IPC and sections 3, 25 (1-B) of Indian Arms Act and section 37(1) and 135 of the Bombay Police Act.

The applicant seems to be habitual offender against whom eight cases, including the instant C.R., are pending trial. The allegations in all the C.Rs. are similar and the provisions of IPC applied are also similar. All these offences have been committed by the applicant while on bail in the crime registered against him in 2005. Having regard to the allegations against the applicant in the present case and looking to the criminal antecedents this is not a fit case to enlarge him on bail. The application is rejected. However, looking to the fact that there are eight cases pending against the applicant of similar nature the trial is expedited. (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
