Mr. Ashoy Gajbhiye, i/b. Mr. S.D. Dharmadhikari, for Applicant. Mr. H.J. Dedhia, APP, for Respondent-State. .... CORAM : J. P. DEVADHAR & S.J.KATHAWALLA, JJ. (Vacation Court) DATE : 3rd JUNE, 2009. P.C. The applicant who was charged for offences punishable under section 376 r/w section 511 of the Indian Penal Code was acquitted by the Additional Sessions Judge on 22nd May 2008. On an appeal filed by the State Government, bailable warrant was issued against the applicant. As the applicant did not appear before the Court, inspite of the service of the bailable warrant, the appeal was admitted on 17th February 2009 and non-bailable warrants were issued. However, on 22nd May 2009, the applicant voluntarily surrendered before the Additional Sessions Judge, Kolhapur and applied for bail. Since this Court had granted non-bailable warrant, the application filed 2 by the applicant for bail was rejected. Hence, the present application is filed. 2. It is the case of the applicant that due to financial difficulties, he could not engage an Advocate and appear before this Court, on service of the bailable warrant. 3. Admittedly, the applicant was on bail during the trial and he has voluntarily surrendered before the Trial Court. Moreover, this Court had initially granted bailable warrant. 4. In this view of the matter, the applicant is released on bail, subject to his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one surety in like amount. He should report to the Kagal Police Station in C.R.No.57/2007 once a month and that he should not leave the jurisdiction of the Trial Court without seeking prior permission of the Trial Court.
