Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... Mr A J Thakkar , Adv. for applicant Mr A.S.Fulzele, APP for Respondent .......... CORAM : A.P.BHANGALE, J. DATED : JANUARY 22, 2010. Head. 2. The applicant, by means of this application, prays for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Crime No POR: 219/20 registered on 14.9.2009 by Range Forest Officer Akot, Tq.Akot Dist.Akola. It is alleged that the applicant was found in possession of 13 logs of sesame wood unauthorizedly and further it is alleged that he had a scuffle with Forests officials and assaulted them. He is the registered owner of Tata Sumo No.MH 30-F 1155 which was allegedly used for transporting forests produce from the forest to the destination outside the forest. It appears that learned Additional Sessions Judge, Achalpur, rejected the prayer for anticipatory bail as back as on 8.10.2009 by a reasoned order in Misc. Criminal Application No. 408/2009. 3. Under these circumstances, I think that the applicant must cooperate with the investigation agency by surrendering before either the Arresting Officer or the 2 Remand Court concerned. To enable the applicant to do the needful, I am inclined to grant temporary anticipatory bail until 5.2.2010. The applicant may on or before 5th February, 2010 approach either the Arresting Officer ( Investigating officer ) or the Remand court concerned. If the applicant surrenders on or before the stipulated period, he shall be released upon executing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety in the equal amount. If the applicant avails this anticipatory bail order for transitory period with time-line 5.2.2010, he shall attend the Investigating Officer as and when required. He shall inform his fixed/permanent address with Phone/Cellphone number to the I.O. He shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence in any manner. In the event the applicant surrenders before the Remand Court, he may apply for regular bail, which of course, may be considered on its own merits and in accordance with law. It is made clear that if the applicant fails to surrender on or before 5.2.2010, the concession of temporary anticipatory bail shall stand automatically canceled. Application is disposed of accordingly. Humdast granted. JUDGE sahare
