((-1-)) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2645 OF 2006 Ravi @ Ahmed Hasan Shaikh & anr. Applicants versus The State of Maharashtra Respondents Mrs.P.P.Kakade for applicants. Mr.R.Y.Mirza, APP for respondents. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 18th August 2006 PC : 1. Heard Ms.Kakade for applicants and Shri Mirza-APP for State. 2. It is not in dispute that the applicants have been enlarged on bail by JMFC, Khalapur on 22nd June 2006. However, that order has been modified by learned Sessions Judge at Raigad and he has enhanced the amount of Rs.25,000/- for each of the applicants. 3. This application is for reduction of amount of Rs.25,000/- which is to be paid or in the sum of which sureties are to be furnished. Ms.Kakade invites my attention to the application and ((-2-)) submits that it is not possible for the applicants to arrange for sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each. She submits that the amounts be reduced so as to enable the applicants to get benefit of bail. 4. Shri Mirza points out that the applicants are involved in several other matters and identical offences are alleged. The modus operandi is also pointed out to me so also the recoveries at their instance. 5. Considering all facts and circumstances it would be appropriate if the amount is reduced from Rs.25,000/- to Rs.15,000/- each. However, the applicants must furnish local sureties. The applicants must before they are enlarged on bail, forward to the I.O. the details of place of residence/residential address where they would be residing after bail. They shall not without prior intimation to the I.O. change the place of residence. They shall also report to Khopoli Police Station twice a week after release. Criminal Application is disposed of. Order of Sessions Court is modified to the above extent. Application disposed of. ((-3-)) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
