Orlim Sarpanch and two others Anticipatory Bail Application Rejected.
The Additional Sessions Judge, South Goa, Margao, Shri Dilip K. Gaikwad has
rejected the anticipatory bail applications moved by Orlim Sarpanch Godrfrey
Rodrigues, Buliver Rodrigues and Micky Alfonso r/o. Varca on Saturday.
The Sessions Judge rejected the anticipatory bail applicaton on the ground
that the accusation made in the FIR Vis-a-vis statement of witnesses recorded
by the police shows that the accusation leveled against all the suspect is
serious in nature.
That the Colva Police has registered a crime against the trio in connection
with the assault on one Mr. Francisco Manuel Fernandes, age 34 years, r/o
Carmona Salcete.
As per the Complaint lodged by Francisco Fernandes the suspect took the
complainant in a bar at Carmona Salcete on 27/4/2008 at 6.30 PM.
The Trio then assaulted him with kicks and fist blows while Buliver hit a
broken bottle on his head and Micky stabbed broken bottle in his
abdomen/stomach. The injured was shifted to GMC Bambolim for treatment . A
offence was registered against the Trio under section 324 IPC ( causing
grievous injury with sharp weapon) and sec. 506(ii) ( giving threats to kill)
as suspects were suspecting victim having illicit relations with the
neighboring lady.
Public prosecutor for the state Adv. Subhash Dessai vehemently objected the
bail application on the ground that the suspect Bulier was having criminal
antecedents having involvement in robbery, murder cases etc. PP Dessai further
argued that if bail is granted then witnesses will not come forward to give
statements. He urged the sessions court to consider the gravity of the offence
and that offence u/s. 506(ii) is non-bailable and that the custody of the
applicants is necessary for the purpose of thorough investigation.
Adv. Alban Viegas for applicant Bulier and Micky submitted that they were
implicated in the case due to political rivalry while Adv. Rajiv Gomes for
Godfrey Rodrigues contended that FIR was lodged belatedly on 28/4/2008 and that
Godfrey has not actively participated in crime. Colva PSI Mohan Gaude is
investigating the matter further.
