VERSUS

THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .....

Mr. Sohail Subhedar h/f Mr. N. S. Ghanekar, Advocate for Applicant Mr. A. V. Lavte, APP for the Respondent/State

CORAM

: ADVAIT M. SETHNA, J.

DATE : 18 JULY 2025 P. C. :- 1.

Heard learned Advocates for the parties.

2.

At the very out set my attention is drawn to the order dated 24 April 2025 passed by this Court which granted protection to the Applicants in certain terms and conditions which have been set out in paragraph No. 8 of the said order.

3.

Pursuant to such order Mr. Lavte, learned APP for the State, on instructions, would submit that the Applicants have co-operated with the investigation and there is no breach of them of the such terms and conditions. As far as prima facie case is concerned, there is nothing adverse against these Applicants pursuant to the order dated 24 April 2025. Wat is more important is that the Applicants have also not just cooperated with the investigation and have thus joined investigation. Also,

they have been regularly appearing in the proceedings before the Trial Court where the charge is framed against Accused No.1. This fact is not controverted by the prosecution. Mr. Lavte, learned APP would submit that the custodial interrogation of the Applicants is required. However, in the given factual matrix prima facie, custodial interrogation is not warranted. The Applicants have undertaken to continue to co-operate with the investigation.

4.

In above such factual complexion order dated 24 April 2025 needs to be confirmed. Hence, this ABA is Allowed by passing following order:-

ORDER

(i) In the event of arrest of the Applicants in connection with C.R. No. 177/2023, registered with Pishor Police Station, Dist. Aurangabad, for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 307 r/w 34 of the IPC, the Applicants are directed to be released on bail on their furnishing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000 (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) each with one solvent sureties in the like amount. (ii) The Applicants shall co-operate with the investigation. They shall attend the concerned police station as and when required by the Investigating Officer untill filing of the charge-sheet.

(iii) The Applicants shall furnish details of residential address and other contact details such as mobile number etc. to the concerned police station. If there is any change in the contact details, the same shall be immediately informed to the concerned police station.

(iv) The Applicants shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Court without prior permission of the Court until further orders. (v) They shall not interfere with the evidence and shall not tamper prosecution witnesses in any manner whatsoever. 5.

Needless to mention that these are prima facie observations made in adjudicating this ABA.

6.

The ABA is allowed in above terms.
