((-1-)) mst IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.245 OF 2009 Vasant Sakharam Naik Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent M.K.Kodnekar i/by Prakash Vare for applicant. Miss A.T.Javeri, APP for the State. Mrs.Savita Dande for respondents 2 to 7. CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 13th April 2009 PC : 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant who is the original complainant. The challenge in this application under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is to an order passed by the Sessions Court dated 18th November 2008 by which anticipatory bail was granted in favour of the second to seventh respondents. 2. The learned counsel for the applicant has invited my attention to the grounds on which anticipatory bail has been granted. He submitted that the offences alleged are of ((-2-)) serious nature. He submitted that the allegation in the complaint filed by the applicant is that the accused forged the documents for getting eligibility as a slum dweller in a slum rehabilitation scheme. He submitted that the anticipatory bail has been granted mainly on the ground that the remedy of the applicant was to approach the High Power Committee set up by the State Government pursuant to the orders of a Division Bench of this Court. He submitted that as the allegation is regarding fabrication of documents, this was a case where custodial interrogation of the accused was required. 3. I have carefully considered the submissions. Apart from the observing that the applicant could have approached the high power committee, in paragraph 8 of the impugned order, the learned Judge has observed that the protection has been granted by this Court to the similarly placed accused in connection with the same offence. In paragraph 9, the learned Judge has considered the allegation of forgery of documents. After examining the allegations against the accused, the learned Judge was of the view that custodial interrogation of the ((-3-)) accused was not required. 4. While granting anticipatory bail the learned Judge has directed the accused to attend Vakola Police Station till filing of the charge sheet. Various other conditions in accordance with law have been imposed. The anticipatory bail granted is of limited duration. 5. It is not the case of the applicant or the prosecution that any breach has been committed of the said terms and conditions or that the accused have not co-operated in the investigation. If there is any allegation of breach, appropriate proceedings can always be filed by the applicant as well as by the State. 6. Subject to what is observed above, no case is made out for interference. The application is rejected. (A.S.OKA, J.)
