CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATED : DECEMBER 01, 2008. 1. This is an application under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for release of the applicant on bail in the event of his arrest for the offence punishable under Section 285 of the Penal Code and Sections 3 and 7 of the Essential Commodities Act. As far as Section 285 of the Penal Code is concerned, the offence is bailable. 2. The applicant was found to be involved in filling gas in cylinders meant for commercial use from subsidized domestic gas cylinders, as can be seen from the papers of the investigation, made available for my perusal by the learned A.P.P. In view of this, the prayer of the applicant for releasing him on anticipatory bail 2 cannot be considered. The application is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE RR.
