By this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure the applicant is seeking bail in Crime No.661 of 2022, registered with Karad City Police Station, Dist: Satara, for the offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 353, 332, 458, 380, 511 r/w. 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 and 5 of the Explosive Substances
Act.
3.
The present offence was registered against the four accused persons including the applicant. Accused nos. 1 and 2 have been released on default bail. However, interestingly the accused no. 1 was released on default bail on the ground that within 60 days the chargesheet was not filed and the accused no. 2 was released on default bail on the ground that within 90 days the charge-sheet was not filed. As such both the co-accused were released on default bail. 4.
In the said backdrop, if the case of the applicant is considered, the applicant was on anticipatory bail till 03.11.2022, then he surrendered on 10.06.2023 and since then he is in jail. The investigation is completed and the charge-sheet has been filed. 5.
As such in the above referred backdrop, I am of the opinion that further custody of the applicant is not necessary. Accordingly, I pass the following order:
ORDER
(i) Criminal Bail Application is allowed and disposed off; (ii) It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail in Crime No.661 of 2022, registered with Karad City Police Station, Dist: Satara, for the offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 353, 332, 458, 380, 511 r/w. 34 of the
Indian Penal Code and Section 4 and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, on furnishing P.R.Bond of Rupees TwentyFive Thousand with one solvent surety in the like amount; iii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case, as also not tamper with the evidence;
iv) Liberty is granted to the State to apply for cancellation of bail if the applicant commits similar offence; vii) The applicant shall attend the trial before the Trial Court regularly on every date unless exempted by the trial Court for any reason.
