1 appa775.10 ast IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.775 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.78 OF 2008 Anil Vidyadhar Todankar. ....Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra. ....Respondent. Ms. Rebecca Gonsalvez, advocate appointed for applicant. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, APP for State. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND P.D.KODE, JJ. DATED:- OCTOBER 4, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard advocate appointed for the applicant and the learned APP. Although we are not impressed by the argument that looking at the evidence of P.W.4 Dr. Girija Tulpule, offence in question cannot be one under section 307 of the I.P.C. Even so, considering the fact that the applicant has already undergone actual 7 years of imprisonment in relation to the offence in question, as he is in jail since 16th September, 2003, in the interest of justice, the applicant deserves to be released on bail, having regard to the fact that it is unlikely that his appeal pertaining to year 2008 can be taken up for hearing in the near future. Accordingly, we direct that the applicant be released on bail on the following conditions. 2 appa775.10 (i) The applicant be released on bail on furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. (ii)The applicant shall report to the local police station where he would ordinarily reside, atleast once in a month on first Monday of every English Calender month between 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. (iii)The applicant shall furnish his latest address, where he would ordinarily reside to the concerned police station. (iv)He shall not leave the jurisdiction of the said police station without giving prior intimation of 48 hours and also disclose his travel plan and provide contact place or phone number. (v)Application disposed of on the above terms. 2. The Court expresses a word of gratitude for the able assistance given by the advocate appointed to espouse the cause of the applicant, who is in jail. 3. Copy of this order be forwarded forthwith to the applicant, who is in jail. (P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
