1 ABA-228.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.228 OF 2011 Kamlesh Kumar Srivastava .... Applicant Vs. The Union of India & Anr. .... Respondents S/Shri Shekhar Ingawale i/b H.G. Wakshe for the Applicant. Ms Nitee Punde, Special Public Prosecutor, for the Customs (CIU). Ms Alpa T. Javeri, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: APRIL 06, 2011 P.C: 1. This is an application for anticipatory bail by a person who is alleged to have helped one Shabbir Rangwala in forging invoices so that Shabbir Rangwala gets a higher duty draw back out of which Rangwala allegedly paid a sum of Rs.45,00,000/- to the applicant. The applicant contends that the applicant has not received any such amount. Shabbir Rangwala, who was supposed to have retained over Rs. 65,00,000/- out of the amount received as duty draw back, has not been named as an accused. The applicant is a public spirited individual 2 ABA-228.11 who had filed complaints against some customs authorities and therefore he claims to have been victimized. Those complaints seem to have been made around the same time when this investigation began. Therefore, the possibility of the complaints being engineered to stall the investigation cannot be ruled out. 2. As far as Shabbir Rangwala is concerned, the learned Special PP states that Shabbir Rangwala has deposited the entire sum of about Rs.65,00,000/- with the Department and therefore he has not been made an accused. As far as the applicant is concerned, though the learned counsel for the applicant points out from the extracts of his bank accounts that the applicant has transactions of more than a crore of rupees over the period of time in his account, there are certain entries, as pointed out by the learned Special PP, which would connect withdrawals by Rangwala and deposits and credits in the account of the applicant. In view of this, it cannot be said that the matter does not require any further investigation. The application is therefore rejected. 2. The learned counsel for the applicant seeks a week's time to surrender since the 3 ABA-228.11 applicant wants to take the matter to the Supreme Court. A week's time is granted to the applicant to surrender on the condition that the applicant shall report at the office of the investigator every day between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
