1 Cri.appln.1471 of 2010 hvn IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1471 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 188 OF 2009 Bhimrao Shamrao Gaikwad ... Applicant Versus State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Pankaj D. Purway i/by Mr. J.B. Kocheta, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. U.V. Kejriwal, A.P.P. for State. CORAM : SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA,J. DATED : DECEMBER 08, 2010 P.C. This is an application for temporary bail by the applicant who has been convicted for the offences punishable under Section 376 (2) (f) and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer R.I. for the period of 10 years and to pay fine of Rs. 5000/-. In default of payment of fine he has to undergo further R.I. for six months. The applicant had earlier filed applications for bail in view of the admission of his appeal. Both the applications have been rejected. The present application is for temporary bail on the ground that the 2 Cri.appln.1471 of 2010 applicant desires to attend marriage of his son which is to take place on 12th December, 2010. The applicant has annexed copy of the marriage invitation card at Exh. D to the application. Mr. Purway, the learned counsel for the applicant states that since the ceremonies relating to marriage will start from 10th December, 2010 the applicant be released on temporary bail from 10th December, 2010 to 22nd December, 2010. The learned A.P.P. opposes the application submitting that there have been instances in the past wherein similar applications on fake invitation card had been produced. She, therefore, seeks time to take instructions in the matter. Considering the fact that the family of the applicant is from Solapur and the marriage is to take place at Pune, she requests for at least 3 or 4 days time to take instructions. In the alternate, she suggests that the applicant be permitted to attend the marriage escorted by police personnel. Since, the marriage has to take place on 12th December, 2010 the time as requested by the learned A.P.P. cannot be given. As regards the attendance of the marriage by the applicant with escort, the learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits to the orders of the court. Hence, the application is disposed off with the following 3 Cri.appln.1471 of 2010 order. The applicant is permitted to attend the marriage of his son on 12th December, 2010 at the place of marriage i.e. Sai Mangal Karyalaya, Bora Mahavidyalaya Road, Ghodnadi, Taluka : Shirur, Pune, escorted by the police personnel. The escort shall be in civil dress. The applicant be taken to the place of marriage on 12th December, 2010 at 9.00 a.m. under police escort and be allowed to remain at the place of marriage till 5,00 p.m. The applicant shall bear the charges of police escort and deposit the same in advance on or before Friday, 10th December, 2010 with the appropriate authority. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar of this Court. (SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA,J.)
