Heard Mr. Mahendra Sandhyanshiv, the learned
counsel for the Applicant and Mr. S.H. Yadav, the the
learned APP for the State.
4.
The FIR is lodged by one Nilesh Bagul. He has
stated that on 6th January 2020, on previous enmity,
about 13 persons went to the house of one Bhau Saheb
Ragho Bhanmare where the informant and his family
members were invited for lunch. The accused were
carrying weapons, like iron-rods and wooden sticks.
F.I.R. narrates the actual assault. The informant Nilesh,
his father Shailendrasingh Bagul, Bapu Borse, informant’s
uncle Dinesh Singh and Bhagwan Singh had sufered
injuries in the incident. It is specifcally mentioned that
applicant No. 1 gave a blow with iron rod on the head of
informant. On this basis, the FIR is lodged.
5.
The learned Counsel for the applicant
submitted that the injury sufered by Nilesh and
Shailendra are described as simple injuries. No other

assault or injury is attributed to the present applicants
and, therefore, they deserves protection of anticipatory
bail. He submitted that the other accused are granted
regular bail.
6.
The learned A.P.P. opposed the application on
the basis of allegations made in the FIR.
7.
I have perused the injury certifcate. I have
also perused the statement of other eye witnesses
namely Bhausaheb Bhamare, Yogesh Bhamare, Anita
Bhamare, Nilima Bhamare, Vinod Bhamare, Archana
Bhamare and others. Thus there are many eye witnesses
to the incident. The occurrence of the incident cannot be
doubted.
8.
Injury sufered by the informant Nilesh was on
the head. He has sufered CLW on the frontal bone of the
size of 8 cm x0.5 cm x0.5cm. Thus, a blow was given by
applicant no. 1 on the informant’s head causing injury of

8 cm in length. This blow can fall within the meaning of
Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code.
9.
Injured Bapu has lost his two teeth and,
therefore, it was a grievous injury. Injured Dinesh had
injury on his forearm causing fracture. It was also a
grievous injury.
10.
All the assailants had come together by
forming an unlawful assembly and therefore, at this stage
of consideration of anticipatory bail, their roles cannot be
separated. The ofence was committed with pre
meditation and planning with common object to cause
grevious injuries. The ofence is serious. The Applicants
cannot be granted anticipatory bail. Hence, the
application stands rejected.
