1 SNS IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CRIMINAL JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.73 OF 2011 Shri Rohidas Ananta Chorghe ...Applicant. v. The State ...Respondents. Mr. M.S.Karnik, adv. For the Applicant. Mr. S.A.Shaikh, APP For the Respondent/State. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : JANUARY 18, 2011. P.C. 1 Application was arrested in crime no.68 of 2008 registered under Section 302 r/w Section 149 of the I.P.C. with Kothrud police station . His application for bail was rejected on merits. It appears that thereafter he is in habit of making frequent applications for temporary bail on one or the other grounds for his political purpose including election of the Grampanchayat. It appears that having taken benefit of that, he also contested election for the post of Sarpanch and was elected. Thereafter he has filed similar applications. Now he has filed this application just to attend the meetings of Grampanchayat. If such type of temporary bail is granted to him, refusal of bail on merits will have no meaning. This will only help him in maintaining political and other 2 influence in the area, which may also be used for tampering the prosecution evidence. If temporary bail is granted for such political purposes in serious cases like murder, powerful and influential accused persons will be encouraged to move such applications making mockery of judicial system. 2 Therefore, application stands rejected.
