1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1128 OF 2009 Swatantrapal Singh Sucha Singh .... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... Respondent. ---- Mr. Nitin Pradhan, Senior Counsel i/b Ms. Shubhada Khot for the applicant. Mr. D.P. Adsule, APP for the State. ---- CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 20th March, 2009 P.C:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant and the learned APP appearing on behalf of the State. 2. Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant submits that trial had already begun. However, it is submitted that the applicant needs to go to his native place in order to collect fees which are to be paid to his lawyer. It is submitted that on that ground applicant may be granted temporary bail for a period of two weeks. 3. It is not possible to grant bail to the applicant on this 2 ground because there is every possibility that the accused may abscond since he is not the permanent resident of Maharashtra and it will be difficult to trace him out. Since the trial has already begun and allegations which are made against the present applicant are of serious nature, in my view, applicant is not entitled to get temporary bail. Application is dismissed. Trial, however, is expedited. 4. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
