DATED: 13th December, 2010 P.C. 1. This is an application for bail by a social worker, the President of some political outfit, who is alleged to have collected money from the job seekers and provided them with forged appointment letters. Basically one Mr. Santosh Shinde had collected money from the job seekers and handed over to the applicant. The amount allegedly collected in this case is Rs.2,40,000/-, out of which Rs.80,000/- have been refunded to first informant by Santosh Shinde. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in no way involved in this matter. As per the interim orders of this Court, he has been attending before the concerned Investigating Officer since last one moth, but nothing much has 2 APPLN 5045 OF 2010.sxw happened. Even so, in order to show his bonafides, the applicant would deposit a sum of Rs.1,60,000/-, within a period of two weeks with the trial Court. In view of this it is not clear as to what the prosecution would achieve by subjecting the applicant in custodial interrogation. Learned APP, vehemently opposed this application as there are other several job seekers who have been duped by this applicant, and therefore, custodial interrogation of the applicant is necessary. If there are other job seekers’ complaints against the present applicant, the prosecution can register separate offences on the basis of their complaints and proceed with those complaints. But there is no need to put all the eggs in one basket. The application is allowed. In the event of applicant’s arrest in CR No.199 of 2010, registered at Alibag Police Station, he be released on bail on furnishing PR Bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs. 50,000/- on the following conditions :- i) The applicant shall deposit a sum of Rs.1,60,000/- before the trial Court within a period of two weeks, which the learned trial Court shall invest in the nationalised bank to earn maximum interest and shall deal with the same as per the result of trial at the end of trial. ii) The applicant shall make himself available on 15th December, 2010 at 10.00 a.m. for interrogation by 3 APPLN 5045 OF 2010.sxw Investigating Officer and thereafter as and when required Investigating Officer. iii) The applicant shall not, directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iv) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the trial Court. v) The order shall remain in force till the chargesheet is filed.
