1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELALTE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 234 OF 2009 Mithun Vinod Sahal ..... Applicant. V/s State of Maharashtra ..... Respondent. Mr. H.S. Murthy i/b Ms. Mallika A. Ingale for the applicant. Mr. D.P. Adsule, APP for the State. CORAM: V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 17th February, 2009 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicant was arrested on 2/12/2008 in connection with the offence punishable under sections 403, 408, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 477-A, 120B of the Indian Penal Code. Allegation against the present applicant is that, at the relevant time, he was working with the Company known as Big Bazaar and, thereafter, he left that place and was working elsewhere. An inquiry was made thereafter and it was found that certain cheques had been issued to certain companies and those cheques were deposited in the account opened by Mr. Pravin and Mr. Jain in the name of different suppliers and those cheques were cleared. All the books of accounts and relevant documents have been seized. Charge-sheet, however, till today, has not been filed. 2 On the last date, 8 days' time was given in order to enable the prosecution to make a statement as to when the charge-sheet is likely to be filed. However, till today, admittedly, charge-sheet has not been filed. Continued detention of the applicant, therefore, in my view, is not necessary since all the documents have been seized. 3. Applicant under these circumstances be released on bail in C.R. No. 91 of 2007 of EOW, Unit III, Crime Branch CID, Mumbai in the sum of Rs 25,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. Applicant shall report to EOW, Unit III, Crime Branch CID, Mumbai twice in a month and as and when called. Applicant shall initially given cash bail and within one week thereafter he shall furnish sureties as directed. 4. Application is disposed of. 5.
