Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent ....................  Mr. Mihir Kasliwal, Advocate for Applicant.  Mr. Sukanta A. Karmakar, APP for Respondent. ................... CORAM : MILIND N. JADHAV, J. DATE : SEPTEMBER 30, 2026 P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Kasliwal, learned Advocate for Applicant and Mr. Karmakar, learned APP for Respondent. 2. This is an Application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 seeking Bail in connection with C.R. No.151 of 2026 registered with Bhadrakali Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 109, 115(2), 352 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 37(1) and 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act, 1951. 3. Applicant is arraigned as Accused No.1 in the present crime and arrested on 06.04.2026 and is in incarceration since then. Accused Nos.2 and 3 are already released on bail. Case of prosecution against Applicant is that he is the principal perpetrator of the act in question whereby with a dangerous weapon namely scythe (dks;rk) he 1 of 4 14.BA.3699.2026.doc had inflicted a blow on the injured victim. The Injury Certificate is appended at page No.87 which prima facie shows three simple injuries and one grievous injury on the nose of the injured victim. The precursor of present crime – incident is what transpired on the previous day when the injured victim had himself snatched the mobile phone of the Applicant because there was a money dispute between them regarding payment of money. 4. Both the persons are known to each other since they used to sell vegetables in the local market and there was an existing and subsisting relationship between them. In view of the precursor incident which was pacified on that day itself with the interference of the mother of Applicant and family members of the injured victim, it appears that on the following day in order to take revenge for what had happened on the previous date, the incident in question had happened. 5. Considering the overall circumstances and prima facie it is seen that there was no intent as such to commit the crime since it was in view of the provocation because of the previous day’s incident, I am inclined to accept the case of Applicant for grant bail. 6. Applicant is required to also provide care and support to his family members being a vegetable seller which is one more reason for consideration of the Application for bail. 2 of 4 14.BA.3699.2026.doc 7.
