Only offences punishable under Sections 120B and 212 of IPC were attracted against these petitioners and against accused No.8, only offence under Section 212 of IPC has been attracted, as against accused Nos.17 Sections 120B of IPC and under Section 3(2)((v) of the SC/ST PA Act is attracted.

He further contended that the deceased also doing sand business illegally and accused No.1 helped the other accused persons to collect money from him. However, there is no meeting of mines by the accused persons for hatching conspiracy to commit the murder. The accused No.10 only given shelter to the other accused without knowing the offence committed by them. Only the eyewitness is C.W.12, who was not stated anything about these petitioners. They are in custody for more than 6 months. They are ready to abide by any conditions to be imposed by this Court. He prayed for granting bail. 7. The learned Counsel Sri Srinivas B. Naik appearing for petitioner/accused No.15 has contended that the name of accused No.15 has not found anywhere in the charge sheet, except he was a driver and friend of accused No.1, absolutely there is no material against him. The name of this petitioner implicated only on the basis of voluntary statement given by the accused No.1 and there is no bad antecedents against this petitioner and no case registered against him, there is no any recovery also from him. He is ready to abide by any conditions to be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed for granting anticipatory bail. 8. Learned counsel Sri.J.Basavaraj appearing for petitioner/accused No.18 has contended that absolutely there is no evidence against the accused No.18 to connect with the crime. The allegations against him is in respect of conspiracy with the accused No.1 about 6 months prior to the incident that himself and other accused were trying to commit murder of Ravi Naik by going to Sub-registrar’s office and they returned back as unsuccessful due to presence of public near the said office. Absolutely there is no corroborative evidence or seizure of any material from this accused. Even for attracting Section 120B of IPC there is no material against this petitioner. Therefore, the Court should not ordinarily reject the bail petition regarding offence under Section 120B of IPC cases. The statements of witnesses cannot be reliable that case is based upon the voluntary statement of the accused, which is not reliable. Hence, he prayed for granting anticipatory bail. 9. Per Contra, the learned HCGP Miss Seema Shiva Naik objected all these petitions and contended that there is an eyewitness-CW-12 to the incident, who speaks about the assault on the deceased-Ramesh Naik. Hence, he prayed for granting anticipatory bail. 9. Per Contra, the learned HCGP Miss Seema Shiva Naik objected all these petitions and contended that there is an eyewitness-CW-12 to the incident, who speaks about the assault on the deceased-Ramesh Naik. Accused Nos.1 to 5 came in a auto rickshaw and committed murder and thereafter they fled away to the house of accused No.10 and they stayed with accused No.10, where other accused persons also joined with them. All of these accused persons are belongs to the same gang. Previously, one of brother of complainant’s C.D.Ravi has been murdered by the accused No.1, 12, 13, 14, 18 and 19 and the said case is pending before the Sessions Judge in Sessions Case No.96/2013. The accused No.1 and his gang assisted the other accused persons and have threatened the deceased-Ramesh Naik to become hostile and to compromise the case, where the deceased-Ramesh Naik was the complainant in the murder case of C.D.Ravi. Therefore, the accused persons were hatched conspiracy to commit murder of the main witness and complainant in the murder case and committed murder of Ramesh Naik. All the accused persons were criminally conspired with the accused No.1 and they are belongs to same gang. If they granted bail, definitely they will commit the murder of complainant in this case namely-Gopal Naik is not ruled out, already they have killed two brothers of Gopal Naik’s and they likely to commit murder of others also. CW-12 eyewitness and other circumstantial witnesses were clearly spoken about the commission of offence hatched conspiracy by the accused. Therefore, she has contended that if petitioners are granted bail, definitely they attacking the witnesses and threatening the witnesses are not ruled out. Accused No.18 also conspired with the accused No.1 to commit murder and also attempted to commit murder and was unsuccessful in the previous occasion. Hence, she prayed for rejection of bail petitions filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. She also contended that accused No.15 who is also gang member of accused No.1. He already attempted to attack the Ramesh Naik, but it was unsuccessful. He also gang member of accused No.1 therefore he is not entitled for granting anticipatory bail. Hence, she prayed for rejecting the petition filed by accused No.15. 10. He already attempted to attack the Ramesh Naik, but it was unsuccessful. He also gang member of accused No.1 therefore he is not entitled for granting anticipatory bail. Hence, she prayed for rejecting the petition filed by accused No.15. 10. Upon considering the arguments addressed by the learned counsels for the respective petitioners and learned HCGP and perused the charge sheet materials available on record. It is not in dispute that the accused Nos.1, 11 to 14, 18 and 19 are facing trial in Sessions Case No.96/2013, wherein they have committed murder of brother of deceased namely-C.D.Ravi and accused No.1 wants to compromise the case and approached the other persons to compromise the case with the deceased-Ramesh Naik, who is the complainant in C.D.Ravi’s murder case, when the complainant-Ramesh Naik refused to compromise the case, accused hatched the conspiracy with the other accused persons and they are committed attempt to murder, but it was unsuccessful. Again they engaged accused Nos.6-Sathish and 20-Ajith for watching the moments of deceased-Ramesh Naik. The accused No.1 also hatched conspiracy with the accused No.7-Ashok who is the resident of the place of occurrence. Then accused-Ashok and Harish have given the information about the business of deceased-Ramesh Naik to the accused No.1 . About 4 months back, they got the information that in the Sub-Registrar’s office the deceased-Ramesh Naik, his brother-Manju Naik, one Imran and complainant in this case were present, at that time, the accused No.1 sent one Satish (A-6) for confirming the presence of the witnesses and the complainant. Immediately, Ganesh, Moses Immanuel S., Umesh, Siraj, Yesu, Harish, Sharukh @ Sheru, Dawood, Dance Ravi, Nagaraj and Mahendra were all went in a auto rickshaw of one Mehaboob Basha @ Kapil with deadly weapons near the Sub-Registrar’s office, but there they found so many people present near the said office therefore, they came back. Again Satish and Ajith gave information about the moments of the complainant, the said gang again went near the Saint Joseph’s School, by that time, complainant went from there by his motor cycle. Thereafter, on 25.07.2020 the accused persons were succeeded in committing the murder of the deceased-Ramesh Naik. On perusal of the entire records, the offences alleged against the accused Nos.1 to 5 though they actively participatory on the date of incident but this accused No.15 and other accused persons were also belongs to same gang. Thereafter, on 25.07.2020 the accused persons were succeeded in committing the murder of the deceased-Ramesh Naik. On perusal of the entire records, the offences alleged against the accused Nos.1 to 5 though they actively participatory on the date of incident but this accused No.15 and other accused persons were also belongs to same gang. They are also twice made attempt to commit the murder of deceased-Ramesh Naik and the complainant and another brother Manju Naik about 4 months prior to the incident and another attempt near the Saint Joseph’s School. But they were unsuccessful. But later they successful in murdering of the Ramesh Naik and who is the complainant in the murder case of C.D.Ravi, which clearly goes to show that all these accused persons conspired to commit murder of deceased-Ramesh Naik and even to this complainant-Gopal Naik and another brother Manju Naik after committing the murder of their another brother one C.D.Ravi. Offences punishable under Sections 302, 120B and 212 of IPC and provision under the SC/ST PA Act attracts against the some of the accused persons. But Section 120B of IPC attracts all the accused persons they are successful in committing the murder of the deceased. 11. As regards accused No.18, learned counsel Sri J. Basavaraj has contended that there is no material against this accused No.18 except Section 120B of IPC. But on perusal of the records, this petitioner is also an accused in earlier case i.e., Sessions Case No.96/2013 by committing murder of C.D.Ravi and he was facing trial and in order to get acquittal by this accused. The accused No.1 and others were trying to compromise the case where the deceased refused to compromise therefore, accused No.1 and others along with this petitioner/accused No.18 were conspired to commit the murder of deceased-Ramesh Naik. He/accused No.18 along with other accused already made an attempt to commit murder of deceased. But it was unsuccessful for two attempts and he is an accused in earlier murder case of brother of deceased in this case. Later he has conspired to commit murder of Ravi Naik who is main witness to the case. Therefore, it cannot be said there is no material against the petitioner/accused No.18 in order to show he has not involved in commission of murder of C.D.Ravi. Later he has conspired to commit murder of Ravi Naik who is main witness to the case. Therefore, it cannot be said there is no material against the petitioner/accused No.18 in order to show he has not involved in commission of murder of C.D.Ravi. The Judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court, relied by the learned counsel for the petitioner/accused No.18, in the case of Prabhakar Tewari vs. State of U.P. and Another passed in Criminal Appeal No.154/2020 (arising out of S.L.P.(Crl)No.9209/2019) on 24.01.2020, wherein it is held that dismissal of bail filed by the complainant against the granting of bail by the High Court and to cancel the bail Hon’ble Supreme Court rejected and hold once the High Court granted bail by considering the merit it cannot be interfered with. 12. By looking to the fats and circumstances of the case, the Judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court stated supra will not come to the aid of the petitioner/accused No.18. This petitioner/accused No.18 involved in brother’s murder case of deceased and in earlier case and again involved in committing murder of deceased i.e., in the present case. Such being the case, the argument addressed by the counsel for accused No.18 is not acceptable. 13. As regards to accused No.15 also actively participated in the commission of murder hatching conspiracy in the crime. The accused persons and the complainant are rival gangs, if the petitioners granted bail, definitely there is every possibility of attacking the complainant-Gopal Naik and his brother-Manju Naik is not ruled out, as they are already killed the deceased-Ramesh Naik who is witness and complainant in the murder case of C.D.Ravi. Every accused have participated in conspiracy and committing the murder of the deceased. They are all belongs to same gang. The Police have arrested almost all the gang members of the accused No.1 and filed the charge sheet against them. If petitioners are granted bail, there is every possibility of they committing similar offence of threatening the prosecution witnesses and even committing the murder of complainant is not ruled out. They are all belongs to same gang. The Police have arrested almost all the gang members of the accused No.1 and filed the charge sheet against them. If petitioners are granted bail, there is every possibility of they committing similar offence of threatening the prosecution witnesses and even committing the murder of complainant is not ruled out. In order to avoid further offence, even there is every possibility of complainant’s gang making attack on the accused gang, if they released on bail and keep the peace in the locality and avoiding future offences and to safeguard the interest of witnesses and accused, it is deem fit and proper to dismiss the bail petitions of these accused persons. The material placed on record is sufficient goes to show that all the accused persons involved in the commission of offence. The accused persons are habitual offenders. Though there was no other case registered against the accused No.15, but he has actively participated in attacking the deceased-Ramesh Naik on the previous occasion, but unsuccessful. These accused persons are having so many cases registered against them. Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that petitioners are not entitled for granting either regular bail or anticipatory bail as prayed for by them. Accordingly, I pass the following: ORDER Criminal Petition No.101484/2020, Criminal Petition No.101613/2020 and Criminal Petition No. 100057/2021 filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C and Criminal Petition No.100068/2021 filed by the accused No.15 under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. are hereby dismissed.
