Single-judge Justice Bharati Dangre reasoned that there was no overt act that could be attributed to the 10 accused and proceeded to allow their bail plea.
“Considering the role attributed to the present applicant, which is of his presence and being armed with a weapon, but since no overt act is attributed to him, nor there is any recovery from him, he serves to be released on bail” Justice Dangre observed.
The 8 accused were denied bail as they were seen on CCTV assaulting the now deceased Sadhus.
The persons who have been granted bail are Raju Gurud, Vijay Pilena, Risha Pilena, Deepak Gurud, Sitaram Rathaod, Vijay Gurud, Ratna Bhawar, Ishwar Nikole, Firoj Sathe and Mohan Gavit.
The bail pleas of Rajal Gurud, Mahesh Gurud, Lahanya Valakar, Sandesh Gurud, Havasa Sathe, Bhau Sathe, Ramdas Rao and Rajesh Rao were denied.
