CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATE : JANUARY 12, 2009 DATE : JANUARY 12, 2009 DATE : JANUARY 12, 2009 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in CR No.I-101 of 2007 of Kashimira Police Station. The said case is mainly under Sections 420, 468, 255, 256, 257, 258 and 259 r.w. 34 of IPC. 3. The learned advocate for the applicant has stated that the applicant has been in custody since 5.6.2007. It is further submitted that the co-accused Piush Rawal has been granted bail by order dated 6.11.2008 and the case of the applicant stands on a better footing than that of Piush Rawal [-2-] who has been granted bail. It is seen that in fact Piush Rawal was found in possession of forged stamps, however, the applicant has not been found in possession of any forged stamps. Thus, it is seen that the case of the applicant stands on a better footing than that of Piush Rawal, hence, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 4(i). The applicant-Dilip Shankar Shirdhankar be released on bail on executing P.R. and S.B. of Rs.30,000/- (Rs. thirty thousand only) with one surety paying income tax.
