IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.87 OF 2009 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.647 OF 2008 Ashok Sohanlal Jain & Ors. .. Applicants Versus State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr.S.V.Marwadi i/by M.D.Mali & Co for the applicants. Mr.J.P.Yagnik, A.P.P for the State. CORAM CORAM CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. : A.S.OKA, J. : A.S.OKA, J. DATE DATE DATE : 05th February 2009. : 05th February 2009. : 05th February 2009. P.C.: . Heard advocate for the applicant and learned A.P.P for the State. Perused report dated 04th February 2009 submitted by the Senior Inspector of Police at Dadar police station. By order dated 22nd July 2008, while granting bail, the applicants have been directed to attend Dadar police station between 10.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m once in a week on every Saturday. The report records that the applicant nos.1, 3 and 4 have attended the police station on all dates save and except 06th September 2008. The report also records that the 2nd applicant has not attended the police station on four Saturdays. (2) 2. The submission is that the appeal is not likely to be heard in near future and therefore the condition of marking attendance once in a week be relaxed. It is pointed out that age of the 4th applicant is 75 years and therefore he may be exempted from marking attendance. 3. I have considered the submissions. Considering the pendency of very old appeals in this Court, there is no possibility of the appeal being heard for atleast 6 to 7 years. Age of the 4th applicant as reflected from the judgment of the trial Court is 76 years. Therefore, exemption deserves to be granted in favour of the 4th applicant. However, 1st to 3rd applicants will have to attend the police station once in a month. 4. Hence, I pass the following order: (i) The order dated 22nd July 2008 is modified. As a condition for grant of bail, the 1st to 3rd applicants are directed to report to Dadar police station once in a month on every 1st Saturday of every calendar month till (3) the disposal of the appeal. (ii) The 4th applicant is relived from the obligation of attending the police station in terms of order dated 22nd July 2008. However, he will keep informed the Senior Inspector of Dadar police station of his address and contact telephone numbers. (iii) Application is disposed of in above terms. (A.S.Oka,J)
