[CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 1st February 2010 PER COURT: 1. This is an application by which the applicant, who is arrested on 03.11.2009 in connection with CR No.64/2009 registered with Yawal Police Station, has prayed to release him on {2} bail, as after completion of the investigation charge sheet has been filed on 29.01.2010. 2. It appears that the alleged offence against the applicant is u/s 420, 467 r/w 34 of the IPC and u/s 73 (1-AB) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. Admittedly, none of the offence is punishable with death or imprisonment for life. Considering the huge pendency in the court of Judicial Magistrates, First Class, it is not desirable to keep the applicant behind the bars for an uncertain period and also in view of the fact that charge sheet has been filed, further detention of the applicant is not necessary. 3. In the result, without touching to the merits of the matter, the application is allowed. The applicant be released on bail on his furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.25,000/- and on executing PR bond in the like amount. The applicant is directed to attend the Yawal police station on 1st and 15th day of each month till the trial against the applicant is finally over. Prosecution is at liberty to apply before the JMFC, Yawal for expeditious hearing of the matter. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/A10/criapln4417-09
