1 APPA-594.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.594 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.316 OF 2008 Shreeram Narayan Khalokar .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Anr. .... Respondents S/Shri R.S. Ghatge i/b A.S. Desai for the Applicant. Shri J.P. Kharge, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: JUNE 07, 2011 P.C: This is an application by the applicant/appellant for return of registered Agreement of Sale between the applicant and M/s. Jay Jay Construction Company which was seized in the course of investigation. The applicant was trapped by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and has been convicted for the offences punishable under Sections 7 and 13(1)(d) r/w Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The document of title in question has not been referred to in the judgment at all 2 APPA-594.11 and does not form the foundation of the conviction of the applicant. In view of this, though the learned APP has a strong objection to return of the original document, it is not clear as to why the document should be retained in the custody of the Court. The original document may be returned to the applicant on his substituting it by a certified copy or a photocopy, to be compared by the Court Officer. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
