1 cri.appln. 357-2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 357 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 341 OF 2007 Mr.Arun Digambar Kulkarni ...Applicant VS. The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Mr.Dinesh Sehgal for the Applicant. Smt.M.M. Deshmukh, APP for the State. CORAM : U.D. SALVI, J. DATED : APRIL 6, 2011 P.C :- 1 Heard. Perused application and affidavits in support. 2 The applicant accused- the appellant in the present appeal preferred against the judgment and order convicting him of the offences punishable under Sections 7 and 13(2) of the PC Act, 1988, has preferred this application for the permission to 2 cri.appln. 357-2011 travel abroad. The purpose of the permission finds place in his affidavit dated 29 th March, 2011. It is revealed that he proposes to visit his sons and daughter, who are working abroad at Cyprus, USA and Australia and further wishes to undertake Himalayan tour to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar. It is further revealed that he holds the immovable properties in District Jalana and also the valid passport which was obtained pursuant to the order dated 8 th September, 2010 in Criminal Application No.694/2010 passed by this Court. The applicant undertakes to abide by such conditions as stipulated by this Court. 3 The prosecution in answer to these submissions contended that the applicant accused is a convict and no longer holiday from his staying in India should be given. The learned APP Deshmukh for the State further submitted that some conditions which would enable the prosecution to keep track of the accused need to be specified in a case the 3 cri.appln. 357-2011 applicant is permitted to travel abroad. 4 It is true that the applicant accused is a convict under the PC Act. However, he has challenged his conviction in the present appeal and the appeal is not likely to come up for hearing in near future. The purposes for which the applicant-accused proposes to undertake journey abroad in some measure justify the grant of permission to him to travel abroad. Conditional permission would mollify the apprehensions of the prosecution as regards his availability before this Court for the purposes of conducting the present appeal and for bearing the ultimate outcome of this appeal against the order. The applicant accused is permitted to travel abroad to USA, Cyprus, Australia, Nepal, China i.e. Mount Kailas and Mansarovar between 2 nd May, 2011 and 30 th July, 2011 subject to the following conditions :- i)shall make arrangement for conducting the present appeal through a duly instructed 4 cri.appln. 357-2011 Advocate, ii)Shall keep the title documents i.e. Share certificate and registered conveyance of his Flat No.C1, Highway Co-operative Housing Society Ltd., Shiv Shrushti, Kurla (East), Mumbai  400 024 deposited with the Registry till the time he returns from the journey abroad, iii)shall keep the ACB Mumbai informed of his whereabouts from time to time and shall furnish his itinerary abroad well in advance before undertaking journey to the aforesaid countries, iv)shall furnish to the police his mobile number. 5 Application stands disposed of, accordingly.
