IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL APPLICATION ( BAIL ) NO. 141 OF 2009 SHRI. MANCIO DIAS PRESENTLY LODGED IN JUDICIAL CUSTODY THROUGH NEXT FRIEND MARIA CONCEICAO DIAS ... Applicant Versus S T A T E THROUGH PUBLIC PROSECUTOR ... Respondent Mr. Arun Bras De Sa, Advocate for the Applicant. Ms. W. Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the Respondent. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 16th April, 2009 P.C.: Heard. By the present application, the applicant herein seeks bail, essentially on medical ground, after his application for bail has been rejected by the Court of Sessions by order dated 6/04/2009. 2. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the applicant had placed no material before the Court of Sessions to support his bail application on medical ground. Counsel on behalf of the applicant submits that the applicant is in custody and, as such, was not in a position to produce any medical records. Since the bail is sought essentially on medical grounds, it is desirable that the said request is first considered by the Court of Sessions and, for that, the learned Sessions Judge would be at liberty to call for the medical case papers of the applicant from the concerned jailer and examine the same for the purpose of considering the application for bail of the applicant on medical grounds. The applicant would also be at liberty to produce medical certificates of the Doctor treating him at present, in case desired. 3. Counsel on behalf of the applicant assures the Court that an application for bail on medical grounds will be filed afresh before the Court of Sessions. In case it is filed, the same may be disposed of as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law and in the light of the observations made herein above. Application disposed of. Expedite authenticated copy. N. A. BRITTO, J. NH
