IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 968 OF 2009 CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 968 OF 2009 CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 968 OF 2009 1. Sunil Narayan Kamble, 2. Kiran Kailash Jagdale ...Applicants vs. The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Mrs.Manjula Rao for the Applicants. Mr.S.S. Pednekar, APP for the State. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATED : FEBRUARY 26, 2009 DATED : FEBRUARY 26, 2009 DATED : FEBRUARY 26, 2009 P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- 1. Mentioned, not on board. 2. Heard Counsel for the applicants. 3. This is an application for modification of the condition imposed by the Sessions court in Criminal Application No.363/2009 dated 24th February, 2009. 3. It is submitted that the Sessions Court has imposed the condition that the applicants should execute PR Bond of Rs.1 lakh each with one or more sureties in the like amount for each of them. It is firstly submitted that the applicant are vegetable vendors and - 2 - are unable to furnish bail amount in the sum of Rs.1 lakh. It is secondly submitted that the other co-accused has been released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or more sureties in the like amount. It is submitted that therefore, the said bail amount may be reduced to Rs.25,000/-. 4. In my view, as one of the accused has already been released on bail in the same amount, there is no reason why such an high unreasonable amount of bail should be imposed on the present applicants who are essentially vegetable vendors and therefore, the said order dated 24th February, 2009 passed by the Sessions Court in Criminal Application No.363/2009 is modified and the applicants shall now furnish bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- by executing PR Bond for the said amount with one or more sureties in the like amount for each of them. The applicants shall initially furnish cash bail and within four weeks, they shall furnish the sureties as directed by this Court. 5. The application is, accordingly, disposed of. - 3 - (V.M.
