1 - 10 of 18 (0.26 seconds)Dr. Shriram Omprakash Fafat And Ors vs The State Of Maharashtra , Through ... on 6 October, 2017
The case of "Santosh S/o Dwarkadas
Fafat v. State of Maharashtra" (2017) 9 SCC 714 para 6 and "Siddharam
Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra" (2011) 1 SCC 694 para 89
was also relied upon on this issue.
Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors on 2 December, 2010
30. Reference to the case of "Dwakardas Fafat" and "Siddharam
Satlingappa Mhetre" (supra)cited by the learned Sr. Counsel for the
Petitioners is only to canvass the point that custodial interrogation is not
necessarily required if the accused had joined investigation and even if
he/she or they did not confess, it cannot be said that it is a sign of non-
cooperation with the investigation In the case in hand, records would show
that the Petitioners herein have already given their respective statements
before the IO and as such, it is not a case where the Petitioners have not
joined investigation with the IO. However, in the light of the statement of
the Informant/wife of the deceased that the three Petitioners herein have
been witnessed to be part of the mob who had assaulted the deceased,
(record would show that the Petitioner Phos Muksor is also known as
Khrew Muksor), the IO is required to thoroughly question them on all
aspect of the matter, which unfortunately has not been done till date. It is
also observed that one Shri Se Shadap who was named in the FIR was also
questioned by the IO, but why he was not taken in custody cannot be
understood by this Court.
Sanjay Chandra vs Cbi on 23 November, 2011
31. Another contention of the learned Sr. Counsel for the Petitioners is
that pre-trial detention should not be punitive in nature but usually to
11
secure the attendance of the accused person for trial to ensure that he does
not hamper or tamper with the evidence or witnesses and in support of this
the case of " Sanjay Chandra" and " Dataram Singh"(supra) was cited
has relevance, however, in the particular facts and circumstances of this
case, where the wife of the deceased has clearly stated that she was threaten
by one Se Shadap who was part of the mob which included the Petitioners
herein, would also cement the apprehension of a possibility of hampering
and tampering of evidence and witnesses by the Petitioners herein.
Dataram Singh vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh on 6 February, 2018
(2012) 1 SCC49 at paras 21 to 23 and the case of "Dataram Singh v. State
of Uttar Pradesh & Anr" (2018) 3 SCC paras 1 to 4.
Prabhakar Tiwari & Ors. vs The State Of U.P. & Anr. on 6 January, 2020
32. The case of " Prabhakar Tewari"(supra) was also referred to by the
learned Sr. Counsel to impress upon this Court that factors like seriousness
and gravity of the alleged offences by themselves cannot be a ground to
refuse bail is also valid, except that here, as observed above, the fear of the
Informant/witnesses being threaten cannot be rule out at this juncture, thus
making the seriousness and gravity of the offence, which is incidentally
that of murder a prime factor to be considered by this Court while
considering the prayer for grant of bail.
State Of M.P. & Anr vs Ram Krishna Balothia & Anr on 6 February, 1995
19. In this regard, the learned Advocate General has also submitted that
the law in this respect is very clear and under section 438 Cr.P.C., the
statute provides that if any person has reason to believe that he may be
arrested on accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence, he may
apply for pre-arrest bail and the Court may prevent his arrest after
consideration of relevant factors, one of which involves the nature and
gravity of the accusation. Contending that anticipatory bail is not a matter
of right but a privilege and exercise of discretion by the Court, the case of
"State of M.P. v. Ram Khrishna Balothia" (1995) 3 SCC 221, para 7 was
citied in support of this argument.
Jai Prakash Singh vs State Of Bihar & Anr.Etc on 14 March, 2012
At paragraphs 19,
20 and 22 in the case of "Jai Prakash Singh" (Supra), the Hon'ble
Supreme Court considering the issue of grant of anticipatory bail in serious
offences has held as under:
Pokar Ram vs State Of Rajasthan And Ors. on 7 July, 1984
20. Referring to the case of "Pokar Ram v. State of Rajasthan &
Ors"(1985) 2 SCC 597, the learned Advocate General has led this Court
to paragraph 13 of the same and has submitted that here the Hon'ble
Supreme Court has held that compelling circumstances must be made out
to a person accused of committing murder and that too when investigation
is in progress, which is exactly the case here as the facts would show that
the murder was executed in a very gruesome manner where an innocent
life has been taken, the Petitioners being very much involved in the same,
as such, no compelling circumstance has been made out for grant of pre-
arrest bail.
The State Of Kerala vs Mahesh on 19 March, 2021
