Petitioners V/s. State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr.V.T. Tulpule i/b J.B. Vashi for Petitioners Mr.D.R. More, APP, for Respondent-State Mr.Gul Asnani, PP/CBI CORAM: SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. DATED: JUNE 5, 2008 JUNE 5, 2008 JUNE 5, 2008 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . The petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 9.5.2008 imposing certain conditions while granting bail to them. The petitioners have already furnished cash bail of Rs.2 lacs each. However, they are mainly aggrieved by the condition requiring them to furnish a bank guarantee of Rs.20 lacs, jointly, within two months from the date of their release on bail. The petitioners were arrested for offences punishable u/s 465, 467, 468, 471, 379 and section 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioners have already been released on bail after furnishing the cash bail of Rs.2 lacs each. The petitioners have claimed parity with accused Nos.1 and 2, who have been released on bail of Rs.1 lakh each. 2. An affidavit has been filed by the Investigating : 2 : Officer contending that the role played by accused Nos.3,4 and 5 i.e. the petitioners herein, is different from the role played by accused Nos.1 and 2. Besides the offences for which accused No.1 and 2 are charged, according to the Investigating Officer the charges against the petitioners are that they in conspiracy with the other accused had clandestinely removed original share certificates from the bundles of shares of Apollo Tyres Limited which were to be handed over by the custodian to the CBI. The Investigating Officer has stated that these shares of the company are in question. 3. In my view, considering the role played by the accused and the parity claimed by them, the condition of providing bank guarantee of Rs.20 lacs, jointly, needs to be modified. Instead the accused Nos.3, 4 and 5 shall each deposit a further amount of Rs.2 lacs within a period of two weeks. The other conditions in the order granting bail will continue. 4. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
