Heard learned Advocates for the parties.
2.
The proceedings relate to Crime No. 0530/2024 registered by Ghansawangi Police Station, District Jalna. The FIR has been lodged on 13 December 2024 at 21.47 hours. The occurrence of the offence is stated to be between 2 December 2024 to 12 December 2024. The information received at the said Police Station was on 13 December 2024 at 21.37 hours. The Informant in the present proceedings is one Ravindra Babasaheb Bade (age 27 years).
3.
At the outset the Court's attention is drawn to an order dated 28 April 2025 by which the interim protection was granted to the Applicant which has been subsequently extended from time to time. The allegations against the Applicant primarily the purchased of stolen
property i.e. cable wires of solar panel projects. On hearing the learned Advocates for the parties it so appears that one of the co-accused persons in the present proceedings has named the present Applicant in the alleged crime, and that is how the present Applicant is roped in these proceedings. However, even subsequent to the filing of the FIR, there is nothing placed on record to show his alleged role or connection of this Applicant with the crime in question. There are reportedly no criminal antecedents against the Applicant. The Applicant is a labourer. The investigation is on going. The Applicant undertakes to fully co-operate with the investigation. In such facts and circumstances, custodial interrogation of the Applicant is not required. Except Section 303(2) which is prima facie not applicable to the Applicant, the offences under other provisions in the FIR are bailable.
4.
For the reasons as recorded above, the Anticipatory Bail Application is allowed in following terms.
ORDER
