1 BA 1557 OF 2011 vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.1557 OF 2011 Vikram Ramesh Desai .. Applicant. -versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Smt. Mallika Ingale, for the applicant. Mrs. P. P. Bhosale, APP for the Respondent State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 3rd October, 2011 P.C. 1. This is an application for bail by a person, who has been taken in custody by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 10th Court, Andheri, Mumbai, for remaining absent at the trial. His application for bail came to be rejected by the learned Magistrate as well as by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Mumbai, who may not be wrong holding that the applicant had no business to protract the trial by remaining absent. Even so since the charge against the applicant is for the offence punishable under Section 332 and 114 of the Indian Penal Code and he has been in jail for almost one month now, this should be enough to chastise him and ensure that he remains present in the Court on all the dates as may be fixed by the learned Magistrate. Therefore, he be released on bail 2 BA 1557 OF 2011 on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.10,000/- and on his depositing a sum of Rs.5,000/- towards costs in the trial Court. 2. The applicant to ensure that he remains present on all the dates as may be fixed by the learned Magistrate and his failure to do so, would entail the learned Magistrate to put the applicant behind bars and in such contingency he would not be released on any of the ground till the trial is over.
