1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 961 OF 2009 Shri Prashant Chandrakant Shinde ...Applicant. v/s The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Mr. P. Mali i/b Mr. M.K. Kocharekar for the applicant. Mr. Rajesh More, APP for the State. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 3rd March, 2009 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicant has been arrested in connection with the offence punishable under sections 464, 465, 468, 470, 472, 473, 420 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Charge-sheet has been filed. The other co-accused have been released on bail. Applicant seeks bail on the ground of parity. The only allegation which is made against the present applicant is that he was in possession of illegal election voter's card which was recovered at this instance. As charge- sheet is filed, continued detention of the applicant, in my view, is not necessary since the trial is not likely to begin in near future. 2 3. Applicant, therefore, be released on bail in C.R. No.220 of 2008 in the sum of Rs 5000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. He shall report to the concerned Police Station once in a month. 4. Application is disposed. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
