By this application, the applicant is seeking regular bail in Crime No. 87 of 2025 registered with Bhosari Police Station, District Pune, for the offences punishable under 103(1) read with Section 3(f) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
2.
It is prosecution's case that on 5th March 2025, the applicant and co-accused murdered the deceased on the suspicion that he was a thief.
3.
It is contention of learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant assaulted the deceased with fists and kick-blows. The applicant has no antecedents. He is behind bars for more than one year. Hence, requested to allow the application.
4.
It is contention of learned APP that there is eye witness to the incident, who has stated that the applicant and co-accused brutally assaulted the deceased. The deceased was tied to a pole. If the applicant is released on bail, he may abscond and requested to reject the application. 5.
I have heard both learned counsel, perused the charge-sheet and documents produced on record. It appears from record the incident occurred suddenly. The applicant is behind bars for more than one year, he has no antecedents. Considering these facts, I pass following order :
