This is an application for regular bail.

The applicant came to be arrested in Crime No. 165 of 2024 registered at Radhanagari Police Station, Dist Kolhapur for the offences punishable under Sections 302 &

201 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The deceased was having illicit relations with the sister-in-law of the present applicant (the wife of the applicant's brother). It is alleged that the applicant was thus annoyed with the deceased. According to the prosecution he thus entered into the conspiracy with the co-accused to kill the deceased. It is alleged that pursuant to the said conspiracy, in the intervening night of 14.05.2024 & 15.05.2024, the present applicant along with co-accused committed the murder of the deceased. 4.

I have heard the learned senior counsel for the applicant, the learned APP for the Respondent/State and the learned counsel for the Respondent/complainant. 5.

The case is based on circumstantial evidence. According to the prosecution the co-accused assaulted the deceased.

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:

O R D E R
