The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.120 of 2008 of Pandharpur city police station, District Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having committed an offence punishable under sections 420, 467, 468 of IPC. It is on the allegations that the complainant had paid Rs.1,50,000/- to the co-accused-Dr.Arun Bugade and part of the said amount was paid in presence of the applicant. That amount was paid by the complainant for getting an admission to the post graduation in gynaecology. Both, the accused and the complainant, are doctors. Admittedly, the entire amount of Rs.1,50,000/- was paid by the complainant to Dr.Arun Bugade. Dr.Arun Bugade was arrested in this C.R. and he has already been released on bail. Insofar as the present applicant is concerned, the only allegation is that a part of the amount was paid in his presence. Mr.Yagnik, learned A.P.P. submits that Dr.Arun Bugade has disclosed to the Investigating agency that a part of the said amount was subequently paid to the applicant. Mr.Mane submitted that the information disclosed by the co-accused is not legally admissible against the present applicant. The police have not collected any other material against the present applicant to connect him with the alleged offence till this date, except the statement of the co-accused. In the circumstances I am inclined to grant the application for anticipatory bail as prayed by the applicant. Hence I pass the following order: . In the event of arrest, the applicant be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Sunday between 6.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. till filing of the charge-sheet or for a period of 90 days from the date of his formal arrest, whichever is earlier. . 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 without being influenced by the observations made in the order.
