Heard.

This application is filed for bail before arrest by accused involved in Crime No.230 of 2016 for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 143, 147, 148, 149, 451, 504, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code registered by Police Station Amdapur, Taluka Chikhli, District Buldhana.

direct involvement established.

Perused the case diary. It appears to be the case of prosecution, based on information by Uttamrao Shegokar on 4.10.2016, that while he was in the house with his family members, applicants entered having armed with weapons like knife, sickle, and sticks and committed assault wherein his mother Samindrabai, brother, and wife sustained injuries who were initially admitted to hospital locally and then to M.J.M. Hospital at Aurangabad.

Discharge card of Samindrabai establishes serious injuries sustained by her which are by way of compound fractures of second, fourth, and fifth ribs apart from other injuries sustained by her. Similarly, there are statements of witnesses including injured eyewitnesses who established involvement of the applicants. Their statements not only establish individual role attributed to applicants but their complexity in the present crime.

In that view of the matter, thus from the contents of report, role attributed to the applicants is clearly demonstrated.

So far as case of applicant No.3 of his being not present on the spot at the time of the incident, on perusal of the documents filed in support of the application, way bill collection report reveals that on 3.10.2016 applicant No.3 had deposited cash at 10:33 .....3/-

p.m. at M.S.R.T.C. Depot at Buldana. According to the F.I.R., incident took place on 3.10.2016 at 11:10 at village Khamkhed, Taluka Chikhli which is stated to be at the distance of 45 kilometers from Buldana. Having regard to the facts as aforesaid, following order is required to be passed as prima faciely applicant No.3 appears to be not present at the time of incident and who also appears to be in service with State Transport Department.

In the circumstances, the application is partly allowed, as per order below:
