Mrs. Sapna N. Nath for Applicant Mr. J.P. Kharge - APP for State ----- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 2ND DECEMBER, 2009 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the Learned APP for the State. 1 2. The Applicant was arrested on 11th November, 2008. He is in custody for last one year. It is alleged that he altered the figures in two cheques and withdrew an amount of Rs.8,95,900/0 and Rs.9,85,000/-. Charge sheet is filed and the case is not likely to come up for hearing immediately in near future. Continued detention of the Applicant, under these circumstances, therefore, is not necessary. Since the offence pertains to the documents which are seized by the police, question of tampering with the evidence does not arise. 3. The Applicant in Criminal Application No.5165 of 2009 allegedly had accompanied on Santosh and that is the only role attributed to him. Therefore, the Applicant deserves to be released on bail. 4. Therefore, both the Applicants shall be released on bail in C.R. No.I-302 of 2008 registered with Nerul Police Station in a sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one or two sureties each in the like amount. They shall, however, report to the concerned police station once in a month. (V.M. KANADE J.)
