Mundargi, Senior Advocate with Mr. Ganesh Gole for the applicant. Mr. J.P. Kharge4, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 11TH JANUARY 2010 P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. The applicant seeks bail in connection with the C.R. No.141 of 2009 registered against him at Sakharwada Police Station, Nasik. 3. The prosecution case in short is that the 2 applicant issued an advertisement inviting people to invest money in a car scheme under which he was to pay to the investors a sum of Rs.10,000/- per month for a period of 3 years for the amount of Rs.1,00,000/- invested. The complainant paid the investment amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- but the cheques issued by the applicant as promised by him were dishonoured and thereby the applicant was cheated. Similar complaints were filed against the applicant by few other investors. 4. The applicant was arrested on 22nd June 2009 and is in custody since then. Investigation is complete and the charge-sheet has been filed. In the circumstances, there is no further need to detain the applicant in jail as he is no longer required for investigation or interrogation. There is no allegation that the applicant is likely to repeat the similar offence if bail is granted to him. No apprehension is expressed that the applicant would abscond if enlarged on bail. In 3 the circumstances, in my view, the applicant can be granted bail. Hence, I pass the following order: ORDER The applicant be released on bail on his furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs.25,000/- with two sureties of the like amount subject to the condition that the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
