IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 851 OF 2009 Uday Totaram Shinde ...Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent --- Shri Nilesh Pawaskar and Aparna Vhatkar for Applicant Shri D.P. Adsule, APP for State ---- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED 13TH MARCH, 2009 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the Learned APP for the State. 2. The Applicant was arrested on 4th January, 2009 in connection with an offence punishable under sections 420 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. It is alleged that when the Applicant's senior was on leave, he used his letterhead and forged his signature for appointing two persons on honorary basis. 4. The learned APP for the State submits that the chargesheet is being filed within a period of one week and the investigation is over. 5. Since the offence is not punishable for death or imprisonment for life and since the investigation is over and an offence pertains to alleged fabrication and forgery of the documents, continued detention of the Applicant, in my view, is not necessary since the trial, in any case, is not begin immediately in near future. 5. The Applicant, therefore, be released on bail in C.R. No.I-273/2008 in a sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. The Applicant shall report to Bhiwandi City Police Station once in a month. 6. Application is disposed of. V.M. KANADE J.
