suffer rigorous imprisonment for 7 years. For the offence punishable under Maharashtra Control of Organized Crimes Act, fine of Rs.5,00,000/- is imposed on each count apart from default sentence of 1½ years on each count.

He rested his submission primarily on the ground that as the applicant/accused no.1 is behind bars from 1^st March 2015 and as he has completed actual jail sentence of 3 years, he is entitled to be released on bail, as his appeal may not heard in the near future.

meanwhile, the applicant/accused along with co-accused, as alleged by the prosecution, has committed robbery and looted the valuables from the victim. After due trial, not only the offence of robbery, but offences under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crimes Act are held to be proved. Considering the nature of crime and the evidence adduced by the prosecution in support thereof, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant/accused. Hence, the order :
