1 Appln 3784-10 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3784 OF 2010 Shivaji Shripati Shinde ..Applicant V/s. Sanjay Mukutrao Kalbhor & ors ..Respondents Mr.Jitendra Gaikwad, Advocate, for the Applicant Mr.Milind Deshmukh, Advocate, for Respondent No.1 Mrs.S.D.Shinde, APP, for Respondent No.13 - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 16TH NOVEMBER, 2010 P.C. . The grievance of the applicant is that the respondents should not have been admitted to anticipatory bail is correct, since the respondents were alleged to be participants in an offence punishable under Section 3(1)(X) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocity) Act and under Sections 143, 147, 149, 323, 505, 506(2) of the Indian Penal Code. The learned Additional 2 Appln 3784-10 Sessions Judge should have seen that the Judge did not have any powers to admit the respondents to anticipatory bail. However, thereafter, investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed and respondents have been admitted to regular bail. 2. The learned Counsel for the applicant states that this bail granted by the learned Additional Sessions Judge was on the basis of anticipatory bail granted by her and therefore, this order should be set aside. The respondents have been charge sheeted for the offence punishable under Sections 3(1)(X), and 7(1)(d) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocity) Act and under Sections 143, 147, 149, 323, 505, 506(2) of the Indian Penal Code. Since investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed, no useful purpose would be served by canceling the bail which was granted to the respondents. There is nothing wrong in the 3 Appln 3784-10 order passed admitting the respondents to anticipatory bail after filing of charge sheet. Therefore, there is no question of cancellation of their bail. 3. Criminal Application is disposed of. The respondents would scrupulously keep themselves away from the prosecution witnesses till the trial is over. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
