Sadik Nabi Shaikh and Others v. the State of Maharashtra and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Anticipatory bail refused; Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench), Criminal Appeal No. 214 of 2024, decided 05.03.2024 by Nitin B. Suryawanshi, J.; appellants Sadik Nabi Shaikh and others v. State of Maharashtra; charge sheet filed 27.11.2023 under section 299 Cr.P.C.; Trial Court rejection of 03.02.2024 upheld; custody necessary for incomplete investigation; charge-sheet filing not a change in circumstance for pre-arrest bail; appeal dismissed as devoid of merit; earlier appeal Crl.A. No. 778 of 2023 withdrawn/dismissed 02.01.2024.
What did the court decide?
The Trial Court rightly rejected the appellants' anticipatory bail application because the investigation was not completed vis-a-vis the applicants-accused, and there is sufficient material on record against the appellants showing their involvement in the crime. ¶4
