DATED: DECEMBER 22, 2010 P.C: This is an application for bail by an extortionist who has been charge-sheeted. The prosecution case is that the applicant had sought a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- from one Madan Kolambekar. He gave a report and a trap was laid. Elaborate panchnama of the trap began at 21.10 hours and ended at 23.10 hours on 23-8-2010. The complainant delivered the ransom to one Amitkumar Yadav in the taxi of one Bhagwan Palve, who was driving the taxi. The police party caught them. When the panchnama was going on, the taxi driver Bhagwan Palve received a telephone call on his mobile phone No.9702776234 from mobile phone No.9920718225. 2 CA-4569.10 It was allegedly made by the applicant. Therefore, according to the I.O., since the applicant had contacted the taxi driver and had sought to know where her agent was, the applicant was the mastermind behind this extortion. The call detail records received from the mobile service provider show that the last call from mobile No. 9920718225 to mobile No. 9702776234 was made at 21.03.10 hours, that is before the panchnama began at 21.10 hours. The learned APP, upon instructions from the I.O. PSI Rajan Chavan, who is present in the Court, states that there was a genuine mistake on his part in recording the timing of the panchnama. Be that as it may, since the investigation is complete and this is the record which the police have created, the applicant's being in custody pending the trial may not be necessary. In view of this, the applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.I-281 of 2010 of Nerul Police Station, Navi Mumbai on her furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.50,000/-. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
