1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION APPLICATION NO.2582 OF 2009 Mr.Haji Sagir Ahmed ..Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondents ---- Ms.Sona Pardasani for the applicant. Mr.S.S.Pednekar APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,JJ Date : 9th July, 2009. PC 1. This is the 2nd application for grant of anticipatory bail. The first application was rejected by me on 15.6.2006. It is true that after the anticipatory bail was rejected, some further statements have been recorded. I have perused the affidavit-in-reply. The same indicates that the present applicant was a part of the mob which was carrying dangerous weapons and several people have been injured. One of the injured has suffered a grievous injury in the form of a nasal fracture. The affidavit- in-reply further indicates that the present applicant was absconding. The statement of one Shashikant Gadade indicates that the present applicant participated not only in damaging the furniture but also in assaulting some of the workers and he was not available for investigation. Investigating officer in his affidavit has stated that on 2 14.3.2009, he wrote a letter to the Superintendent of Police, Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh for searching whereabouts of the present applicant but the present applicant was not found. In my view, there is no change of circumstance in so far as grant of anticipatory bail is concerned. Hence application is rejected. Needless to say that it will be open for the applicant to apply for bail if he so desire and the same application will be considered on its own merits. ( R.S.MOHITE, J. )
