IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 128 OF 2008 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 98 OF 2008. Nitin Raghunath Wagh ...... ...... Applicant. V/s State of Maharashtra... ...... ......Respondent. Mr.S.H.Joshi, Adv. For the Applicant. Mr.J.P.Yagnik, APP For the respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 26/2/08 PC: Appeal admitted. The present applicant has been acquitted for offence punishable u/s.306 IPC but has been convicted for the offence punishable under section 498A of IPC and is sentenced to undergo RI for two years and pay fine of Rs.15,000/-, in default to undergo RI for six months. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that it is most unlikely that the appeal would come up for final hearing before the expiry of period of sentence. It is also submitted that the applicant was on bail during the trial and he has not misused the liberty. Having regard to the fact that the maximum sentence is of two years I deem it appropriate to release the applicant on bail. Hence I direct that the applicant be released on bail on the same terms and conditions on which he was released on bail during the trial on executing fresh bonds. Application stands disposed of.
