1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2566 OF 2009 Baburao Shamrao Bhosale ...Applicant vs. State of Maharashtra ...Respondent CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2567 OF 2009 Bhaskar Bhagwan Salunke ...Applicant vs. State of Maharashtra ...Respondent CORAM :A.S.OKA,J. DATE : JULY 10, 2009 P.C. 1 Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.P.P for State. By the orders which are impugned in these applications, the applicants have been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Special Judge. The objection is to the following part of the impugned order : . Each applicant shall deposit the amount of Rs.25,000/- each within eight days from the date of receipt of this order. If the applicants fail to deposit the said amount within the stipulated time, the relief of anticipatory bail shall be liable to be cancelled. 2 Reliance is placed by the learned counsel for the applicant on the decision of the Apex Court in the case 2 of Munish Bhasin and others vs. State Government and another [(2009) 4 SCC page 45]. He has also placed reliance on the decision of this court in case of Prashant Kishor Mehta vs. State of Maharashtra [2008 (2) Bombay Cases Reporter (Cri) 138]. 3 In view of law laid down by the Apex Court, considering the facts of the present case, the aforesaid condition could not have been imposed as a condition for anticipatory bail and therefore, a clear illegality has been committed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge. Hence, it is necessary to modify the impugned Judgment and Order. Accordingly, I pass the following order : i) The condition imposed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge of deposit of a sum of Rs.25,000/- is quashed and set aside. It is clarified that the anticipatory bail granted in favour of the applicants will operate to their benefit till the charge sheet is filed with liberty to the applicants to apply for appropriate relief before the appropriate court. ii)Criminal Applications are disposed of in above terms.
