IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4646 OF 2004 Rakesh Jairam Valmiki ... Applicant versus State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr. A. Majeed Memon, for the Applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, A.P.P., for the Respondent. ... CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR,J. 2nd December 2004 P.C.: . Heard Counsel for the parties. Perused the record. Besides the reason recorded by the Court below for rejecting bail application, the learned A.P.P. has brought to my notice statements of Rajendra Shriramchandra Kunwar and Pandav Bhalchandra Jha, other watchmen in the building, stating about the conduct of the present Applicant at the relevant time. Besides, insofar as the amount of Rs.65,000/- in the account of the Applicant’s mother, which has been recovered, is concerned, the evidence of Amina Robert Kindo reveals that the Applicant was paid Rs.80,000/-. In view of the overwhelming materials on record, and seriousness of the offence, not a case for bail. Hence, application is rejected. The trial Court, however, is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible and preferably in terms of the directions given by this Court under order dated 10th February 2004 in Criminal Application No. 204 of 2004 in the case of co-accused Smt. Geeta Natwarlal Soni. (A.M.KHANWILKAR,J.)
