1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET No. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD Criminal Application No. 4822 of 2010 (Shivpalsing Angadsing Chandel (Pardeshi) v. The State & anr.) Office Notes,Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Mr. R.S. Shinde, Adv. h/f Mr. N.L. Choudhari, Advocate for the applicant Mr. T.S. Lodhe, APP for the respondents / State PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No. 130 of 2010, registered at Mohadi Police Station, District Dhule. The applicant is accused of committing offence under Section 326 IPC etc. 3. According to the prosecution case, an incident took place on 14th October, 2010 at 04.00 p.m. in the agricultural field of the applicant, in which the applicant allegedly stabbed the complainant using sickle. It seems, the applicant was also beaten up on that day because injuries were sustained by both, applicant as well as the complainant. They both were sent to hospital. Both of them were examined, and it seems, the 2 applicant was found injured. His ribs were found fractured. As said above, the complainant was also found stabbed. It seems, so far the prosecution has not taken notice of the fact that the applicant also sustained injuries. Even the applicant has so far not filed a formal complaint against the complainant. 4. The applicant seeks anticipatory bail on the ground that it is he who lodged complaint first to the Medical Officer, and as a counter-blast to his complaint, the complainant filed his complaint and the offence was wrongly registered against him. I am afraid, this circumstance, assuming it to be true, would not allow the Court to grant such relief to the applicant. There are serious allegations against the applicant. The applicant allegedly stabbed the complainant with a sickle causing him serious injury. In such a case, investigation requires his custodial interrogation. In fact, the police should have arrested the applicant long before and should not have allowed him to hop Courts for anticipatory bail. 4. Application stands rejected. 1st Dec., 10 ( A.V.NIRGUDE, J. ) SRM/criapln/4822.10/1.12.10 3
