Pune for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1), 238 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3. Applicant is a young offender. His involvement is based upon circumstantial evidence where the body of the victim was found on the roadside by a citizen and informed to the police authorities.

BA-3031-26.odt have committed the murder of the deceased. The proximity of the Applicant to the accused being his friend is the only reason as to why the Applicant has been implicated. At the threshold for grant of bail, there is nothing placed on record by the prosecution to persuade me to accept the nexus of the Applicant to the crime in question. Complicity of the Applicant, if any, shall be proved by the prosecution at the time of trial. Hence, the applicant is released on bail on the following terms and conditions:- (i) Applicant is directed to be immediately released on bail from prison in connection with C.R. No. I-421/2024; (ii) Applicant is directed to be released on bail on furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs. 15,000/- (Rs.

Bail Application is allowed and disposed of in the above terms. Amberkar [ MILIND N.
