Order below Exh. 1 in Criminal Bail
Application No. 883/2022.
1.

This is an application moved by the applicant/accused Ankush
Eknath Shirsath under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in
C.R.No. I­65/2022 registered against accused at Gangapur Police Station
for the offence punishable under section 379 of the Indian Penal Code.
2.

It is submitted by the accused that he has not committed any
offence. He has no concern with the offence. He has been arrested on
suspicion. There is delay in lodging the FIR and has been falsely
implicated in the crime. During custody nothing has been recovered from
the accused. Accused is local resident. He is ready to abide by all the
terms and conditions. Hence, prayed to allow the application.
3.

Say was called of the investigating officer. He has objected
this application on the count that, accused is habitual offender. Eight
offences are pending against him. Motorcycle has been recovered at the
instance of the accused during police custody. Accused will not remain
present. Accused will tamper the prosecution witnesses. Investigation is in
progress. Accused has to be arrested in crime no. 310/2022. Accused is
threat to the property of the citizen. Hence, prayed that application be
rejected.
4.

Heard Ld. APP and Ld. Advocate for accused. Perused the
case papers. It is argued by the Advocate for the accused that accused has
falsely implicated.

Noting is to be recovered from him.

Offence is
2
punishable with three years. Hence, prayed that bail be granted.
5.

On the other hand Ld.APP has objected this application on the
ground that, accused is habitual offence. If he is released on bail his
presence will not secure and he will commit similar type of offence.
Hence, prayed that application be rejected.
6.

It reflects that bail order was rejected on the count that
accused is habitual offender and recovery has been made from him.
However, prosecution has not brought any evidence to reflect that accused
has been convicted for the offence leveled against him. It appears that all
the offences are registered in the year 2022. Hence, it cannot be said at
this stage the accused is a habitual offender. Though it is contended by
the investigating officer that accused has to be arrested in crime
no.310/2022 of Ambad Police Station, however, it cannot be a ground to
decide the present application. Practically investigation is completed.
Nothing remains to be recovered or discovered.

Trial will take time.

Apprehension of the investigating officer can be taken care by imposing
conditions. Hence, I proceed to pass following order :­
