1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1231 OF 2009 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1035 OF 2009 srk Dattatraya Atmaram Karande ... Applicant Vs. State of Maharashtra & Anr. ... Respondents. Mr. I.M.Purnik i/b Vishwanath Talkute, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. A.S. Shitole, APP for the State. CORAM: V.M. KANADE, J. DATE :- 21ST JUNE, 2010. P.C. : 1 Heard the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant. 2 Applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and also he has been sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for five years and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- and in default to suffer simple imprisonment for three months. He is also convicted for the offence punishable under sections 323 of the Indian 2 Penal Code and he is sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for one month. 3 The original complainant on the last date appeared before this Court and submitted that he has no objection if the applicant is released on bail. 4 The Applicant has already undergone almost eight months of sentence out of five years sentence awarded by the trial Court. The applicant was on bail during trial. The Criminal Appeal is not likely to come up for hearing in near future. In my view, this is fit case for grant of bail particularly because the applicant’s wife who had filed the complaint against him requested this court to release him on bail, so that he can look after the agricultural land and also look after her children. Applicant therefore, be released on bail on execution of personal bond of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. 5 Applicant to report to the concerned police station, once in a month.
