Mr.Mohta, Advocate for applicant Mr.J B Jaiswal, APP for Respondent CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 13 th September, 2010. Heard. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in connection with Crime No. 66/2010 reported at Patur Police Station, Patur for offence punishable under sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 406 ,120-B of the IPC. The applicant prays for pre-arrest bail in connection with written complaint lodged by Dr Ujwala Nalinde that on 9.5.2010. the applicant had visited her dispensary and represented himself as Share broker and partner of some Financial Services and took huge amounts worth lakhs of rupees from her and her husband on the false pretext of investment and misappropriated the same. 3. According to learned APP custodial interrogation of the applicant is required in order to unearth the money collected by the applicant and his cronies from the complainant and her husband and that without custodial interrogation the economic offender 2 cannot be brought to justice. It appears that learned Additional Sessions Judge Akola had rejected the prayer for anticipatory bail on 6.7.2010. Since in cases where the alleged economic offence is involved, it would be necessary to give a free hand to the investigating agency to unearth money which has been misappropriated or swindled by the accused. Without custodial interrogation, no headway whatsoever could be achieved. That being so, I an not inclined to grant anticipatory bail in this case. Application is rejected. The applicant is at liberty to seek bail on merits by surrendering himself before the regular Court, if he so desires. JUDGE Sahare
