1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5701 OF 2009 Mr. Anil Kumar Baviskar. ..Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. Mr.Niranjan Mundergi i/by A.M.Sarogi for the Applicant. Mr. A.S.Gadkari,APP. For the State. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 21st April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant who is a Shop Inspector is shown as an accused in C.R. No.II-145/209 registered by Mahatma Phule Police Station, Kalyan (A.C.B. Thane Unit) for the alleged offence punishable U/s.7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act . It is an admitted position that there were four traps against the present applicant and all failed. The prosecution has however, 2 contended that the demand was made in recorded telephone conversation. There are four such conversations. Voice sample was taken during the course of the investigation and in respect of three conversations, voice conversation analysis has failed to give a finding of matching of conversation. In respect of fourth conversation, voice matches but there is no demand. In such circumstances, in my view investigation can be completed without the custodial interrogation of the applicant. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. It is therefore, directed that in the event of arrest in C.R.No.II-145/2009 registered by Mahatma Phule Police Station, Kalyan,(ACB Thane Unit) the applicant will be released on bail in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating officer once in a week on every Monday between 11-AM and 5-00P till the filing of the charge sheet. It is made clear that the I.O. 3 may call the applicant for interrogation if he so desires. Bail is also granted on further condition that he will not tamper with the prosecution witnesses and will remain present on all the dates of the trial in the trial court, if exempted. Application is disposed off. 2 It is recorded that the original voice analysis report which was shown to me is returned to the A.P.P. for filing the same in the trial court. Copy of the said report be furnished to the other side in accordance with law. 2 Parties to act on a copy of this order duly authenticated by the registry of this court. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
