It is alleged that on 24.1.2022 the first informant Ganesh Yashwant Deshmukh was assaulted by the accused at Jagdamba Mata Temple, Kasbe­vani, Tal. Dindori, Dist. Nashik, who sustained grievous injury in the scuffle. The accused were arrested by the police and produced before the learned JMFC, Dindori. Initially accused were remanded to police custody and at present they were in MCR.

3.It is alleged in the application that, applicants ­accused are local resident. They have not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. They are ready to abide all conditions laid down by this court. A counter FIR appears to be lodged by applicant­accused Bharat Jairam Wagh against first informant regarding the same incident. Therefore, prayed to release the applicants­accused on bail.

4.I.O. PSI R.N. Bharsat is present. He opposed the bail application by filing his say. Heard, both the parties.

5.The learned counsel Shri. R.Y. Patil submitted that on bare perusal of the FIR, Section 395 and 392 of IPC is not attracted and submitted that due to political rivalry applicants­accused have been falsely implicated in this crime. Nothing is recovered from the applicants­accused during police custody. No purpose would be served by keeping the applicants­accused behind the bar. Therefore, prayed to release the applicants­accused on bail.

6.The learned APP Shri. Suryavanshi submitted that, offence is serious, injured has suffered grievous injury. Investigation is in progress. Other accused are absconded. They have to be arrested. therefore, bail application may not be entertained.

7.The learned counsel Shri. R.K. Lokhande submitted that the injured has suffered grievous injury and he is still hospitalized in Krushna Hospital, Nashik and taking treatment and therefore, he submitted that accused may not be released on bail, considering the gravity of the offence.

8.On perusal of the FIR, it appears that a free fight took place due to the parking of two wheeler and the incident had occurred on a spur of moment. So far as applicability of Section 395, 392 of IPC is concerned, prima­facie for the purpose of deciding this bail application, the intention on the part of the accused did not disclose that they have committed dacoity or robbery as alleged by the prosecution in temple place and particularly accused are of the same village and both the parties are acquainted to each other. Therefore, prima­facie, only section 325 of IPC is applicable to the fact of present case. No purpose would be served by keeping the accused behind the bar. The necessary conditions can be levelled against them to take care of the apprehension of the I.O. and learned counsel represented for first informant. Considering this fact, I an inclined to grant bail application. Hence, following order is passed.
