IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CRIMINALL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.886 OF 2009 (Arising out of SLP (Criminal) No.905 of 2009 Ravindranath Harishchandra Angre ...Appellant(s) Versus State of Maharashtra ...Respondent(s) O R D E R Leave granted.
This appeal is directed against the order dated 11th July, 2008 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay in Criminal Application No.1535 of 2008. By the impugned order the High Court has rejected the application filed by the appellant for grant of bail in the case arising out of F.I.R. No.I-445/2007 dated 19th October, 2007, registered under Sections 323, 392, 384, 504 and 506 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and bearing in mind the fact that the charge sheet has already been filed on 9th April, 2008 and the appellant has been in custody since 22nd February, 2008, in our opinion, it is a fit case where the benefit of regular bail should be granted to the appellant.
