The applicants are seeking bail in CR No.43 of 2008 of Satara City Police Station, Satara. The said case is mainly under Sections 399 and 402 of IPC. 3. The learned advocate for the applicants states that at present, he is not pressing application for [-2-] applicant no.1 and he seeks liberty to file a fresh application at a later stage. Liberty as prayed for, is granted. Application for applicant no.1 is allowed to be withdrawn. Hence, this application is being considered only in respect of applicant nos.2 to 5. 4. It is the prosecution case that the applicants had assembled with preparation to commit dacoity.

The said vehicle does not belong to any of the applicants. There is no material to show that applicants nos.2 to 5 were in any way connected with the weapons which were found in the car. In this view of the matter, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicants nos. 2 to 5. 5.
