Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.275 of 2008 of Kherwadi Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and two others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 420,465, 467, 468, 471 read with 34 of IPC. T 2 3. The applicant has filed anticipatory bail application no.583 of 2009 in the court of Sessions and it is pending for disposal. The application is now kept for hearing on 25.6.2009. 4. Counsel for the applicant submits that on the last date of hearing before the court below, i.e. 18.6.2009, the anticipatory bail application was adjourned to 25.6.2009. On 18.6.09, he further states, the applicant prayed for interim protection during pendency of the application before the Sessions Court to enable him to remain present in the court. His prayer was, however, not entertained by the learned Judge. It is against this backdrop, the applicant has approached this court seeking protection till disposal of his application for anticipatory bail before the Sessions Court. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case and without entering into merits of the case, I am inclined to pass the following order. The applicant shall not be arrested in connection with C.R.No.275 of 2008 of Kherwadi Police Station, Mumbai, pending hearing and final disposal of the Anticipatory Bail Application No.583 of 2009. The applicant shall, however, remain present before the Sessions Court on every date/s of hearing of his anticipatory bail application before the Sessions 3 Court. With these observations, the application is disposed of. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
