This is an application by one Shankar Baliram Sakhare for bail. He has been arrested for the offence punishable under Sections 364A, 384, 387 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered as C.R.No. 126 of 2010 with Kothrud Police Station, Pune. The informant Kundlik Ranba Gite alleges that one Laxman Anna Jadhav demanded a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- from Kundlik. Because of failure of Kundlik to pay that amount, said Laxman 2 Appln 4467-10 along with Daulat Parge abducated the informant. Daulat Parge actually sat on the mother cycle being driven by the informant and by touching the sickle to the informant's abdomen, forced the informant to take motor cycle to a garden where the applicant Shankar Sakhare and others are also alleged to have held out their sickles in order to coerce the informant to pay the money demanded. The informant eventually agreed to pay a sum of Rs.50,000/-. He informed the police and trap was laid. When the informant was again accosted by the applicant and others for money, the police arrested the applicant and others who include one Ganesh Suresh Indalkar. Ganesh as also Daulat Parge has been admitted to bail by the Sessions Court. Now, if Daulat Parge, who had actually forcibly taken the informant at the point of sickle has been bailed out, it would be difficult to deny bail to the applicant, since the prosecution has not sought cancellation of 3 Appln 4467-10 bail of Daulat Parge or Ganesh Indalkar granted by the Sessions Judge in July and August, 2010. 2.
