1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO: 2705/2009 (Satish Nathmal Karwa vs. State of Maharashtra ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memorandum of Coram Court's or Judges Order appearances, Court's orders of directions & Registrar's orders. ............................................................................................................................ CORAM: A.P. BHANGALE,J. DATED: 29 th July, 2009. 1. Heard Mr J B Kasat, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Anup Parihar, learned APP for Respondent-State. 2. By means of this application, the applicant is praying for anticipatory bail, apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.225/2008 registered at Kalamna Police Station, for offence punishable under section 379 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (Presently the investigation is being carried by Crime Branch Nagpur). Learned Advocate for the applicant contended that merely on the basis of some arrested person in connection with alleged theft of truck occurred during 12 th and 13 th August 2008, the Crime Branch is likely to arrest the present applicant. 3. It is not in dispute that the arrest of the present applicant was intended merely on the basis of statement made by arrested persons. In fact, it was also stated as a ground in remand application that finance was obtained by the accused from one Shriram Finance, Secunderabad (AP) on the basis of stolen truck and that it is likely to be in Andhra Pradesh. That being so, the applicant may not be involved even as a receiver of the stolen property, as alleged. Be that as it may; it is contended that the applicant has fixed residence and is a reputed businessman residing at Professor’s Colony, Washim and is ready to cooperate with the investigation. That being so, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail, Hence the Order : 4. In the event of arrest of the applicant in respect of Crime No. 225/2008, the Station House Officer/Arresting Officer, Kalamna Police Station or from Crime Branch, Nagpur shall release the applicant, upon furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs. One lakh, with one or more sureties in the likely amount, provided that applicant shall attend the Investigating Officer as and when directed to do so, he shall not communicate with any of the witnesses concerned with this case; shall not try to tamper with the prosecution evidence, and shall inform his fixed address with telephone number, if any to the Investigating Officer. Humdast granted. Application is disposed of. JUDGE sahare
