Applicant Versus State of Maharashtra .. Respondent ....................  Mr. Chetan H. Deshmukh, Advocate for Applicant  Mr. Amit A. Palkar, APP for State  Mr. Ganesh Mungle, API, MIDC Police Station / Ambad Police Station, Nashik City ................... CORAM : MILIND N. JADHAV, J. DATE : OCTOBER 12, 2026 P. C. : 1. Heard Mr. Deshmukh, learned Advocate for Applicant and Mr. Palkar, learned APP for State. 2. This is an Application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking regular Bail in connection with C.R. No. I- 505/2023 registered with Ambad Police Station, Nashik for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 307, 201, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 147, 148, 149 and 34 of IPC. 3. There are several accused persons in the crime. All of them are young offenders. 5 out of 7 accused persons are juvenile at the time of incident which occurred three years ago. There are two injured 1 of 3 31. BA-3742-26.odt victims in the crime in question. Motive for the incident is old rivalry and the fact that the brother of the Applicant was beaten by two injured persons. Applicant's brother has used the weapon which is a knife that has been recovered but he has been enlarged on bail. He is accused No. 3 and a juvenile. Applicant is arrested on 11.08.2023. Considering the long incarceration of the Applicant and the charge being framed but the trial not having been commenced, I am inclined to consider the case of the Applicant for grant on bail due to uncertainty of the trial being completed in the near foreseeable future. 4. By order dated 21.08.2024, previous Bail Application of the Applicant was withdrawn wherein liberty was given by this Court to move for fresh bail in the event if there was no progress in the trial. Since there is no progress in the trial, I am inclined to release the Applicant 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-505/2023; (ii) Applicant is directed to be released on bail on furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs. 15,000/- (Rs. Fifteen Thousand only) with one or two sureties in the like amount; (iii) Applicant shall report to the Investigating Officer at concerned Police Station, once every month on the first 2 of 3 31. BA-3742-26.odt Sunday of the month between 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; (iv) Applicant shall co-operate with the conduct of trial and attend the Trial Court on all dates, unless specifically exempted and will not take any unnecessary adjournments, if he does so it will entitle the prosecution to apply for revocation of this order; (v) Applicant shall not leave the State of Maharashtra without prior permission of the Trial Court; (vi) Applicant shall not influence any of the witnesses or tamper with the evidence in any manner; (vii) Applicant shall keep the Investigating Officer informed of his current address and mobile contact number and / or change of residence or mobile details, if any, from time to time, as applicable; and (viii)Any infraction of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail granted to the Applicant. 5. Needless to state that the above observations will not come in the way of trial as they are prima facie in nature based on the submissions made and the material placed before this Court. 6. Bail Application is allowed and disposed of in the above terms. Amberkar [ MILIND N.
