1 Appln 3653-10 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3653 OF 2010 Parmeshwar Baburao Bhat ..Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mr.Uday Warunjikar, Advocate, for the Applicant Mrs.Geeta Mulyekar, APP, for the Respondent - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2010 P.C. . It is unfortunate that the Applicant, who is alleged to be involved in robbery has to be admitted to bail in the following circumstances. Pune police arrested some suspicious persons, who were committing robberies in Rickshaws. Pune police published their photograph in daily Sakal news paper on 20th January, 2010; disclosed names of all those persons, who were arrested and stated that citizens had not given complaints, and if 2 Appln 3653-10 the citizen would come forward to give a complaints offences would be registered. The applicant was not amongst other seven persons. After reading this news report, the informant Abdul Aziz Jaksumiya went to the office of Crime branch on 29th January, 2010 and stated that on 15th January, 2010 he had been robbed of Rs.6,000/- in cash and a Nokia mobile handset. FIR itself records that he had gone to the Crime branch office and saw the persons arrested there, one of whom was identified by him as his robber, who happens to be present Applicant Parmeshwar. The police officers presumably know that when suspects are arrested, their faces are covered and at least not shown to the public at large till the victim identifies them properly at identification parade. What prompted police officer concerned to show the present applicant to the informant in the office of the Crime branch and faithfully record in the FIR that the applicant was so shown to the 3 Appln 3653-10 informant is known only to the police officer. 2. In these circumstances, Applicant be released on bail on P.R.Bond of Rs.50,000/- with one or more sureties in the aggregate amount of Rs.50,000/- on the condition that the Applicant shall attend police station concerned every Monday and Thursday between 10.00 to 1.00 P.M for the next one month and thereafter, on every Sunday between 10.00 to 1.00 P.M till the case is disposed of.
