( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3870 OF 2010 Amar Prakash Kandare APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra RESPONDENT .... Mr. K.N. Lokhande, advocate for the applicant. Mr. V.D. Godbharle, APP for the respondent/State. .... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 5th October, 2010] PER COURT : 1. The application is for anticipatory bail. 2. Heard. 3. It is contended by learned advocate for the applicant that the applicant was in his office at the relevant time and, therefore, his involvement in the alleged offence is very much doubtful. He seeks to rely on copy of certificate (Exh-B). 4. The recitals of the FIR prima facie indicates that the applicant was member of the group of assailants. The incident occurred on 31st May, 2010 at about 9.30 a.m. It is stated in the FIR that the applicant was having a baseball bat ( 2 ) and used the same during course of the incident. At this juncture, mere certificate about absence of the applicant from the place and his plea of alibi cannot be taken into account. No case is made out to grant discretionary relief. The application is, therefore, dismissed. [V.R. KINGAONKAR] JUDGE NPJ/criapln3870-10
