1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.467 OF 2009 IN CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.318 OF 2009 Dorairaj Suppu Devendra ..... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ...... Respondents Mr. Anil Lalla i/b Lalla & Lalla for the applicant. Mrs. P.P. Bhosale, APP for the State. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 17TH MARCH, 2010 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for relaxation of condition imposed by this Court by order dated 2/2/2009. The applicant was arrested for the offence punishable under section 376, 506(ii), 343, 365 of the Indian Penal Code. He was released on bail by the said order. However, he was directed not to enter the jurisdiction of Antop Hill Police Station, pending the hearing and final disposal of the criminal case. 2 3. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submits that the prosecution has examined six witnesses and evidence of the prosecutrix is also recorded. He, however, submits that the prosecution proposes to examine six other witnesses and the trial is not likely to be over atleast for a year or two. He submits that the prosecutrix is no longer staying in Mumbai and she has temporarily shifted to her native place Mangaon, District Raigad. This fact is not denied by the learned APP appearing on behalf of the State after taking instructions from the I.O who is present in Court. This being the position, in my view, the said condition can be relaxed as there is no possibility of the applicant now threatening the prosecutrix. 4 Accordingly, the said condition is relaxed and the applicant may enter the the jurisdiction of the Antop Hill Police Station. He shall, however, report to the Antop Hill Police Station twice in a month. 5. It is clarified that the applicant shall not harass the prosecutrix and if any complaint is made by the prosecutrix or any other witness then the bail granted to the applicant may be cancelled. 6. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3
