Mr.S.S.Pednekar APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 7.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.230/2005 registered by the Marine Drive police station under sections 465, 466, 467, 471, 420 and 409 of IPC. It appears to be the prosecution case that the Complainant Veersingh Patil was working in the Law & Judiciary department and he was incharge of disbursement of fees of Public prosecutors. One Special Public : 2 : Prosecutor was to be paid Rs.44,000/- and after deducting income tax, Government cheque of Rs.41,690/- was given in the hands of one Gajanan Gudekar who is also working as a clerk in the Law & judiciary department. Gajanan Gudekar has encashed the said cheque by depositing the same in the Vasant Dada Shetkari Bank Ltd., by opening an account in the said bank by showing bogus identity card. One Mr.Uday was shown to be the introducer. As far as present applicant is concerned, he said to have gone to the said bank and also signed pay-in-slip in respect of the said cheque. The case of the applicant is that he himself was cheated as Gajanan Gudhekar introduced him as Suryawanshi in order to obtain some money as against the cheque. The investigation does not indicate that the present applicant was earlier known to Mr.Gajanan Gudhekar. In my view, as far as present : 3 : applicant is concerned, the investigation can proceed without his custody. It is therefore, directed that in the event of his arrest in connection with C.R.No.230/2005 registered by the Marine Drive police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the investigating officer of Marine Drive police station as and when called upon to do so in writing. Application stands disposed of. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
