DATE : 30th March, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.193/2009 registered by Taloja Police Station for alleged offences under Sections 408, 420, 467, 468 and 471 read with 34 of the I.P.C. The applicant is the Export Manager in Asahi India Glass Ltd. and works to export its products. The allegation is that one employee of the company Mrs. Hemavati Vijayan was manipulating 2 the record of the company in such a manner that lower quotations for transportation of the company goods were being eliminated and contract was being passed on only to one Devji Laxmidas. Matter was heard on earlier occasion and time was granted to find out if any statement of Hemavati Vijayan has been recorded. The learned APP. states that two statements of Mrs. Hemavati have been recorded at the stage of enquiry and also at the time of investigation and nothing has been stated by her against the applicant except that he was working in the export department. In the circumstances, in my view, investigation can be proceed without custodial interrogation. It is therefore, directed that in the event of arrest of the applicant in C.R.No.193/2009 registered by Taloja Police Station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating Officer as and when called by the Investigating Officer in 3 writing and will remain present on all the dates of the trial, unless exempted.
