IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1280 OF 2007 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1228 OF 2007. Sakirali Abdul Rahim Ansari ..... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ...... ....Respondent. Ms.Jamila Shaikh, Adv. For the applicant. Mrs.M.H.Mhatre, APP For the respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 16/2/08 PC: The present applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under sections 343, 452 and 392 of IPC and sentenced to suffer maximum rigorous imprisonment for a period of three years for the offence punishable under section 392 of IPC. During the trial the applicant had been in custody for a period of about six months. Learned additional public prosecutor on instructions from the investigating officer submits that no other criminal case is pending against the applicant and he does not have any criminal record. The appeal is not likely to be heard before the expiry of period of sentence. Perused the judgment. In my view this is a fit case for grant of bail. Hence I direct that the applicant be released on bail on furnishing PR bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- and one solvent surety in the like amount and subject however to the 1 condition that the applicant shall attend Borivali police station twice a month for a period of six months on first and third Monday of each month from now. After expiry of six months the applicant shall attend the said police station once in a month on every first Monday of each month. Application stands disposed of in above terms. 16.2.08 2
