1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4991 OF 2009 The State of Maharashtra .. Applicant. Vs. Dharamsingh Hiralal Nagarkar .. Respondent. Ms.P.P.Shinde APP for the State. Shri Vijay Killedar for the respondent. CORAM : J.H.BHATIA, J. DATED : MARCH 4, 2011. PC: 1. Heard learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for the respondent. 2. The M.I.D.C. Kupwad police station has registered Crime No.34 of 2009 under section 420 of IPC against the respondent on the allegation that when he was serving as Assistant Commissioner in Sangli, Miraj and Kupwad Municipal Corporation he had collected money from the persons below poverty line for issuing such certificate which were expected to be issued free of charge. By the order dated 23.7.2009 the Additional Sessions Judge, Sangli granted anticipatory bail to the respondent with direction that he shall assist the investigation officer in investigation when he is called. This application was moved for cancellation of bail on the ground that he was not co-operating and that he is likely to tamper with evidence. It appears that even S 2 though period of one and half years is over the police have not completed the investigation nor the charge-sheet is filed. On instructions from the Investigating Officer, who is present in the court, learned A.P.P. states that the respondent had appeared before the police twice after grant of anticipatory bail and only once he remained absent despite notice. Since October, 2009, when this application for cancellation of anticipatory bail was moved, no notice is given to him by the police to remain present for interrogation. That indicates that the police were also not taking interest in investigation of the case. Learned A.P.P. makes a statement that purpose would be served if the respondent is directed to remain present at the police station for interrogation for one week from 10.3.2011. Learned counsel for the respondent has no objection. 3. In view of above the application stands disposed of with following directions: The respondent shall attend M.I.D.C. Kupwad police station on 10th March, 2011 from 11 am to 2 pm and thereafter on such time as the investigating officer may fix till 16.3.2011. (J.H.BHATIA, J.)
