1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1390 OF 2010 1 Hari Ananda Dudhal ) 2 Shekhar Sekoba @ Baburao Tele )..Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr. Jaydeep D. Mane for the applicants. Smt. M.H. Mhatre APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 31st March, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicants are shown as accused in C.R.No.29/2010 registered by the Tembhurni police station for alleged offences under Sections 379, 427, 504, 506 read with 34 of IPC and under Section 33(A)(B) of Bombay Money Lender’s Act 1969. The FIR which has been lodged by one Jalinder Farande indicates that he has a dispute with one Shakuntala regarding his land. It is his case that he has taken Rs.50,000 from Shakuntala as a loan. When he went to return the money, she demanded Rs.1,50,000/- and thus there is some enmity. Shakuntala was the main accused who has been granted anticipatory bail. On perusal of the FIR, I find that the present applicants are persons who are said to have robbed electric motor from the well. Learned APP states that no material has been collected till today though the complaint has been lodged on 15.2.2010. The complaint does not show how or when the meter was stolen by 2 these persons. 2 Looking into aforesaid material, in my view, the investigation can proceed without custodial interrogation. It is therefore, directed that in the event of their arrest in connection with C.R.No.29/2010 registered by Tembhurni police station, the applicants may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one surety each in the like amount subject to the condition that they will report to the Investigating officer on every Monday between 11.00 A.M and 3.00 P.M till the charge-sheet is filed and thereafter on every 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month till the conclusion of the trial. They will also remain present on all dates of their trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
