((-1-)) MST IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.586 OF 2007 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.478 OF 2007 Chandrakant Mahadu Mhatre and another Appellants versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr.V.V.Purwant for appellants. Mr.K.V.Saste, APP for respondent. CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. DATE : 3rd April 2008 PC : 1. Heard counsel for the applicant and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. Having regard to the finding recorded by the Lower Court on the basis of evidence on record and as there is evidence to indicate complicity of the applicant in the commission of the offence and the offence being a serious offence, I see no propriety in acceding to the request for bail made on behalf of the applicant. Application is rejected with liberty to the applicant to renew the prayer for bail after one year, if the appeal ((-2-)) MST does not mature for hearing by then. The applicant will be free to file additional paper book so as to make the appeal ready for hearing, if so advised. 2. Leave to amend to remove documents filed from pages 36 onwards which, in fact, pertain to some other case. Instead, the applicant may file notes of documents to be included in the proposed compilation to be filed as additional paper book. Disposed off accordingly. (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
