Respondent Ms.Rashmi Gajwani i/b. Mr.Ganesh Gole for applicant Ms.S.V.Gajare, APP. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 9th February 2010. P.C.: 1] Heard learned Counsel appearing for the applicant and the learned APP for State. This is an application seeking permission to travel abroad. 2] The application made to the trial court has been rejected and that is how the applicant has approached this Court. 3] At page 7 of the application, it is stated that the applicant is holding an Isralian passport. He is residing in Israel since several years. His daughter’s marriage is to be solemnised on 18th February 2010 in Israel. The ceremony is going to be held there. In such circumstances, he seeks 2 permission to travel to Israel. 4] Yesterday the matter was mentioned before me and the learned APP was directed to take instructions. The documents have been handed over to the APP and duly scrutinised. 5] My attention is also invited to the applicant’s earlier travel programmes and it is stated that he has been going abroad and reporting back and there is no breach of any condition. 6] The only apprehension of the APP is that the offence has taken place also in Israel and the applicant is residing in Israel. He may not, therefore, be available thereafter for trial. However, by imposing appropriate conditions, this apprehension can be taken care of. Hence following order:- (a) The applicant is allowed to go to Israel for a period of one month on a condition that he should file an undertaking to this Court and that he will furnish a security of Rs.1 lakh before leaving for Israel. He will return back to India after a period of four weeks from today. He will 3 furnish his tour details including the address where he will be residing at Israel, telephone numbers and travel itinerary. On his return the applicant shall submit his passport within a period of one week to the trial court. Such undertaking is to be filed by 10th February 2010. On the undertaking being furnished, applicant shall be returned his passport. Applicant is at liberty to give bank guarantee in lieu of security for Rs.1 lakh. Application disposed of.
