1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4004 OF 2010 Shivraj s/o Yogiraj Patil (Bidave) ..APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra ..RESPONDENT Mr S.J. Salunke, Advocate for the applicant; Mr N.R. Shaikh, A.P.P. for the respondent - State. CORAM : P.V. HARDAS, J. DATE : 20th October, 2010 PER COURT : This is an application filed by the applicant/accused seeking his release on bail in Crime No.32 of 2010, registered by the Bembli police station, District Osmanabad for offence punishable under section 302, 201 read with sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. It is alleged by the prosecution that the applicant along with the other accused had committed murder of one Vithal. The material against the applicant, as can be culled out from the charge-sheet, is that the supplimentary statement of Ranjana, wife of the deceased reveals that an amount of Rs.10,000/- had been paid by the principal accused to the 2 present applicant for committing murder of her husband in the night between 14.6.2010 and 15.6.2010. Obviously, the said wife of deceased Vithal is not an eye-witness nor does she claim that in her presence an amount of Rs.10,000/- was paid by the principal accused to the present applicant. The other material against the present applicant is the seizure of his clothes on 23.6.2010. The said clothes had been referred to the Chemical Analyser for examination but the report of the Chemical Analyser does not show presence of any blood stains. It is also urged before me by the learned Counsel for the applicant that the principal accused has been released on bail by the Trial Court. 3. Thus, considering the material available against the present applicant, according to me, there is no justification whatsoever in detaining the present applicant. The investigation has been completed and charge-sheet has been filed. In that light of the matter, therefore, application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on the applicant furnishing a P.R. bond in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Magistrate, on the condition that the applicant shall not tamper the prosecution evidence nor shall he influence the prosecution witnesses. Application allowed accordingly. ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) amj/criap4004.10
