     SATISH BHASKAR KHARE                                                          Appellant(s)

                                                   O R D E R

1. Leave granted.

2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the

appellant and the learned counsel appearing for the

respondent(s).

3. The present appeal arises out of the impugned

order dated 22.04.2025 passed by the High Court of

Judicature at Bombay, Bench at Aurangabad in Criminal

Appeal No. 107 of 2025, whereby, the High Court has

rejected the prayer of the appellant for grant of

bail, who has been arrayed as an accused in
Date: 2025.08.26
18:42:42 IST
Reason:

connection with Crime No.195/2022 registered with the

Cidco Police Station, Aurangabad for the offences
2

punishable under Sections 302, 143, 147, 148, 149,

120-B, 201 and 114 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860

along with Section 3(2)(v) of the Scheduled Castes

and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,

1989.

4. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant

would submit that the other co-accused persons have

already been granted bail. However, learned counsel

appearing for the State, while vehemently opposing

for the relief sought for, submitted that the

appellant is the main accused.

5. It is not in dispute that the appellant has

been under incarceration for nearly 03 years and 03

months.

6. Hence, taking note of the continued

incarceration, the fact that only 06 out of 43

witnesses have been examined till date, and the

further fact that the trial is likely to take some

more time for its completion, we are inclined to set

aside the impugned order and enlarge the appellant on

bail.

7. Accordingly, the impugned order stands set

aside, and it is directed that the appellant be

released on bail, subject to such terms and
3

conditions that may be imposed by the Trial Court.

8. The appeal stands allowed, accordingly.

9. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand

disposed of.
