This is an Application for regular bail.

MUGDHA MANOJ PARANJAPE 2.

The Applicant came to be arrested in Crime No.1118 of 2023 MUGDHA MANOJ PARANJAPE Date: 2025.12.22 15:04:42 +0530 registered at Hinjawadi Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 364, 302, 201, 120B, 182 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3.

The deceased was the husband of the Applicant. It is the case of the prosecution that the present Applicant and the co-accused in the present crime were in a relationship. On account of the said relationship, the Applicant and the co-accused have allegedly conspired and committed the murder of the deceased. Accordingly, the present crime was registered. 4.

I have heard Learned Counsel for the Applicant and Learned APP for the Respondent-State.

5.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant has drawn my attention to the order passed by this Court dated 24th February 2025 in Criminal Bail Application No.3985 of 2024. By the said order, the Applicant was Mugdha

2 89-BA 4390-25.doc permitted to withdraw the said bail Application with liberty to file fresh application for bail after six months. It is submitted that the Applicant is in jail for two years and two months and the trial is at the stage of framing of charge. It is submitted that the case is based on circumstantial evidence. 6.

On the other hand, Learned APP for the Respondent-State submits that considering the nature of crime, the Applicant may not be released on bail and the trial may be expedited.

7.

The fact that the Applicant is in jail for two years and two months is not disputed. The fact that case is based on circumstantial evidence is not disputed. The trial is at the stage of framing of charge and thus not likely to be concluded in the near future. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to release the Applicant on bail. In the result, the following order is passed:-

ORDER

i.
