*1* IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4200/2009 Sambhaji Sarjerao Pawar. ..Applicant ­VERSUS­ The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent ............... Mr.Tejpal Ingale, Advocate for the Applicant. Ms.S.D.Shinde, A.P.P., for the Respondent/State. ............... CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. Dated 25th September, 2009. PC:­ 1 By interim order dated 18.09.2009, interim anticipatory bail was granted to the present Applicant and he was directed to attend the Police Station daily for a period of one week and the Investigating Officer was permitted to interrogate the Applicant. 2 The learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant had attended the Investigating Officer and has been interrogated and his statement is also recorded on 22.09.2009. 3 Prima facie, it does appear that the present Applicant who is original accused No.10 had collected the money from the witnesses by name Sharmila Deshpande and Gauri Kale amounting to Rs.3,61,200/­ for being paid to the accused No.7 and the Applicant claims that he has paid the amount to accused No.7. Similarly, an amount of Rs.3,56,800/­ has been withdrawn from the *2* Union Bank of India after encashing the cheque. This amount as well, according to the Applicant, has been handed over to the accused No.7 Manisha. As prima facie it appears that barring the said collection of the amount and withdrawal of the amount under the cheque, no other role is attributed to the present Applicant. Prima facie, it appears that there is hardly any material to connect the present Applicant with the crime. 4 In the result, I confirm the interim order dated 18.09.2009 and allow and dispose of the present application. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest of the Applicant in Crime No.105/2009 registered with Karad City Police Station, the Applicant shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond in a sum of Rs.10,000/­ with one or two sureties in the like amount. The Applicant shall abide by the conditions stipulated under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 5 The Application is allowed and disposed of. ­sd­ (A.P. Deshpande, J)
