DATED : MARCH 12, 2009 DATED : MARCH 12, 2009 DATED : MARCH 12, 2009 P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- 1. Heard Counsel for the applicant and APP for the State. 2. The applicant has been arrested in connection with an offence punishable under Section 392 read with 34 of the IPC registered with Thane Railway Police Station vide C.R.No.57 of 2008. 3. It is alleged that the applicant and others had stolen one Mobile Phone from the complainant and thereafter, had also removed his golden ring. It is alleged that the golden ring was recovered at the instance of the applicant. - 2 - 4. The learned APP for the State submits that there are five cases pending against the present applicant. 5. However, since the charge-sheet already has been filed, the applicant is 19 years old, the role attributed to the applicant that he was present alongwith other persons when they took away the golden ring from the complainant’s finger, this being the position and since this is the only allegation against the present applicant, custodial detention of the applicant is not necessary, in my view and since the trial is not likely to be over for quite sometime. 6. The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. The applicant, however, shall report to the concerned police station twice in a month. 7. The application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
