( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3433 OF 2007 CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3433 OF 2007 CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3433 OF 2007 Shri Mahesh Yeshwant Gosavi .. Applicant. Versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr.Vaibhav Bagade for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. DATED : 29th April, 2008. DATED : 29th April, 2008. DATED : 29th April, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard Mr.Vaibhav Bagade for the applicant and Mr.Saste, A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is arrested and it is alleged that he has committed an offence punishable under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The C.R.No. registered is II-70/2007 of Manikpur police station. According to the prosecution, the applicant has been demanding bribe on telephone and the trap once led failed. The voice sample report is received and I have perused the same. The voice sample report goes to show that the main conversation is between the ( 2 ) applicant and the person from whom the bribe amount was demanded. This may at the most go to show that there is some material against the applicant. Of course, the said material is of a weak nature. Apart from this, there is no other evidence coming forth. The applicant is having the benefit of the interim protection from 23.10.2007. 3. In my view, in the absence of any other material except the report of the voice sample, it would be difficult to accept the submission of the State that the custodial interrogation of the present applicant is required. The present applicant is a constable in the police department and he is presently under suspension. With this, I am of the view that the applicant can be granted anticipatory bail and that he can be put to terms as regards attendance etc. Hence, the following order :- a) In the event of arrest of the applicant in C.R.No.II 70/2007 registered with Manikpur police station, the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount. The applicant to execute P.R.Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/-. ( 3 ) b) The applicant shall report to the concerned police station, firstly on 2.5.2008 between 10.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. and, thereafter, as and when required. c) This order shall remain in operation till the filing of the charge-sheet. 4. Application for anticipatory bail stands disposed off accordingly. (R.Y. GANOO, J.) (R.Y. GANOO, J.) (R.Y. GANOO, J.)
