1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2160 OF 2010 Mr.Dattu Sukrya Walanj )..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr. Sanjeev Sawant & Sandeep Barve i/by B.K.Barve & Co. for the applicant. Smt.A. A. Mane APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 5th May, 2010 PC 1 Heard both sides. Also heard Advocate for the Complainant. The applicant seeks anticipatory bail in view of an order passed by the Magistrate, Kalyan on a private complaint under Section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. After passing of the order police have registered crime vide M.Gunha No.2 of 2010. On reading the private complaint, it appears that the present applicant has been claiming some rights on a property said to have been sold by the original owners to the complainant. The complainant admits that even after purchase of the property, complainant has been executing documents in favour of the present applicant. It is the case of the complainant that applicant’s father had surrendered his rights if any, and has executed an affidavit in that regard. It is however, seen that not-with-standing this position, the admitted position is that the applicant has conveyed 4 gunthas and thereafter 6 gunthas in favour of the complainant. It is also seen that a civil suit has been decreed in favour of the complainant. I am informed that appeal is also dismissed. The matter has shades of a civil dispute. In my view, the investigation in this case can be completed 2 without custodial interrogation of the present applicant. It is therefore, directed that in the event of his arrest in M.Gunha No.2 of 2010 registered by the Kalyan Taluka Police station, the applicant will be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating officer once a week on every Monday till the charge-sheet is filed and thereafter as and when called by the I.O to do so in writing. Further condition is that he will not tamper with the witnesses and remain present on all dates of his trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
