1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5317 OF 2009 Sudhir Bhaskar Salaskar )..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondents Ms.Shabana Shah i/by O.A. Siddiqui for the applicant. Smt. A. S. Gadkari APP for the State. Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 5th April, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of regular bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.77 of 2009 registered by the Arey Colony police station for alleged offences under Sections 307 read with 504 of IPC. The complaint is filed by a lady who admits that this applicant is a married person. She claims to be alleged 2nd wife and her name is Sunita Salaskar. According to the complaint, the applicant took her to a jungle near Arey colony and put the electric wire and pressed on her neck. Thereafter he went away. When she regained consciousness, she was helped by the public and taken to the police station. Ligature mark was found on her neck. In such background, the question arises as to whether there is any intention to cause death because the applicant has not caused any further injury. If his intention was to kill, it would have been the easiest thing to do so. There are no antecedents against the applicant. There is a single injury on the body of the complainant. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail subject to stringent conditions. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in pursuance of C.R.No.77 of 2009, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in 2 the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating officer once a week on every Monday between 11.00 A.M and 3.00 P.M till the disposal of the trial and will attend all the dates of his trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
