DATED: 08TH FEBRUARY, 2008 P.C. : 1. In an appeal against acquittal, action under section 390 was directed. In view of the said order, the police have arrested and produced the accused-applicant before the Sessions Judge, Palghar. However, the Sessions Judge, Palghar, by order dated 23rd October, 2007, has rejected the bail application since the appeal has been admitted and the accused has been arrested in compliance with the writ of this court. The accused-applicant has, therefore, approached this court by filing this application for bail. : 2 : 2. Since the accused-applicant has already been acquitted by the Sessions Judge, we find it appropriate to release him on bail. However, we also take a note of the fact that the prosecution alleges that the accused-applicant is a member of Chhota Rajan gang and, therefore, we desire to keep the accused-applicant under the scrutiny of the police. We, therefore, find it appropriate that till the disposal of this appeal, the accused-applicant shall report to the concerned Police Station twice in a week, preferably on Sundays and Wednesdays between 10.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. We, therefore, pass the following order: O R D E R : (a) The accused-applicant be released on bail of Rs.25,000/- with two solvent sureties to make up the said amount. (b) The accused-applicant shall report to the Nalasopara Police Station twice a week, preferably on Sundays and Wednesdays between 10.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. : 3 : Sd/- Sd/- [SMT.V.K.
