-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 7447 OF 2005 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1050 OF 2005 Mohammed Salim Nabi Noor Shaikh ...Applicant Versus State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Parvez Udharay & Mr. J.D. Singh for the Applicant Ms. G.P. Mulekar,Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR, J. DATE: DECEMBER 13, 2005. P.C. Appeal is already admitted by separate order of even date. It is unlikely that the Appeal will be heard in near future as Appeals prior to 1995 are still pending for hearing. Sentence imposed by the Court below is for 5 years. Applicant has already undergone around 3 months of sentence. The Applicant was on bail during the pendency of the trial. There is nothing on record to indicate that the Applicant misused that bail. As prima facie case has been made out, in my opinion, the Applicant is entitled for bail during the pendency of Appeal. Accordingly, this application is allowed by directing the Respondent to release the Applicant on bail during the pendency of Appeal -2- on same terms and conditions as obtained during the trial on executing fresh bonds. Application disposed of accordingly. (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.)
