Heard Mr. Bankapur, learned Advocate for Applicant and Mr. Nakhwa, learned APP for Respondent – State. 2. This is an Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short ‘BNSS’) seeking bail in connection with C.R.No.64 of 2023 registered with Satpur Police Station, District – Nashik for offences punishable under Sections 307, 143, 144, 147, 149, 385, 392, 120(B), 201 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860; Sections 3/25, 4/25, 5/25 of the Arms Act, 1959; Section 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act, 1951 and under Sections 3(1)(ii), 3(2), 3(4) and 3(5) of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999 (for short ‘MCOC Act’) 1 of 4 61.BA.1755.2026.doc 3. The role of the Applicant can be deciphered prima facie from the CCTV footage relied upon by the prosecution. In that it is seen that he aided the other co-accused persons in facilitating to flee away from the scene of crime on motorcycle after the offence was committed. The dispute between parties was in regard to enmity between Accused No.4 and Complainant who are both members of rival gangs and who were desirous of establish their supremacy in the area under their control. The reasons given in the order dated 16.09.2026 and 29.09.2026 while releasing the other co-accused on bail who have played a far bigger role than the present Applicant, persuades me to allow the present Application on bail on parity. 4. Hence, in view of above prima facie observations and findings, Bail Application of Applicant is allowed subject to the following terms and conditions:- (i) Applicant – Kiran Dattatray Chavan is directed to be immediately released from prison in connection with CR. No.64 of 2023; (ii) Applicant is directed to be released on bail on furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rs. Twenty Five Thousand only) with one or two sureties in the like amount; 2 of 4 61.BA.1755.2026.doc (iii) Applicant shall report to the Investigating Officer at Satpur Police Station, Nashik, once every month, on the first Monday of the month between 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. until commencement of trial and thereafter shall attend all dates of hearing before the Trial Court; (iv) Applicant shall cooperate with the conduct of the trial and remain present before the Trial Court on all dates, unless specifically exempted.
