DATE : MARCH 20, 2007 DATE : MARCH 20, 2007 DATE : MARCH 20, 2007 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.I-17 of 2007 of Ulhasnagar Police Station. The said case is under Section 420 of IPC and under Sections 4 and 5 of Bombay Prevention of Gambling Act. 3. It is seen that the applicant has directly approached this Court for anticipatory bail. In my view, it would be appropriate that the applicant [-2-] prefers application for anticipatory bail before the concerned Sessions Court. In order to enable the applicant to prefer application for anticipatory bail before the concerned Sessions Court, I am inclined to pass the following order. 4. The applicant shall not be taken into custody upto 29.3.2007. 5. On the necessary application being preferred before the concerned Sessions Court, the concerned Sessions Court shall dispose it of on merits. All contentions are left open. 6. Application is disposed of. [ V.K.Tahilramani, J.]
