1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1453 OF 2010 (Mahadeo Ramchandraji Mapale and another .v. State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri A.S. Mardikar, Advocate for the applicants. Shri S.M. Bhadge, APP for the respondent/State. CORAM : PRASANNA B. VARALE, J. 13TH OCTOBER, 2010. Heard. The applicants are the father-in-law and brother-in- law of deceased Harsha. The allegations against these applicants were ill treating Harsha and there was a demand of money. It is also stated in the report that as the financial position of the relatives, namely the brother and other relatives of deceased Harsha was not good, they were unable to comply with the demand and as such deceased Harsha was subjected to ill treatment. Learned Counsel for the applicants submits that the allegations are vague in nature. He further submits that even though it is stated in the report that certain relatives intervened in the matter, the material collected by the investigating agency i.e. the statements of the relatives are also vague in nature. There is no mention of time or date when these relatives intervened in the matter. Learned Counsel further invites my attention to the order passed by this Court in Criminal Application No. 594/2010. While considering the material, this Court has observed that prima facie FIR consists of exaggeration about assault/injury marks on the corpus. It is also observed by this Court that FIR does not disclose specific imputations against the applicants therein and even the evidence collected by IO does not disclose specific imputations against the applicants. Learned Counsel for the applicants submits that the similar sets of circumstances are placed against these applicants 2 also. In view of the order passed by this Court, learned Counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are entitled for grant of bail on the ground of parity. Learned APP has filed his reply. The material is produced before this Court. Perusal of the record/material shows that in these statements, the allegations are vague in nature. They do not disclose any specific imputations against the applicants. In my opinion, prima facie case is made out. In the result the application is allowed. The applicants be released on bail on furnishing PR bond of Rs.20,000/- (rupees twenty thousand only) each with one surety each in the like amount, on the following conditions. (i) The applicants to cooperate with the investigating agency and attend the Police Station, Walgaon on every 2nd and 4th Sunday between 09:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon, till the trial commences. (ii) The applicants shall not tamper with the evidence nor commit any act such as contacting the prosecution witnesses or pressurize them.
