Mr Vijay Sharma, Adv.for applicant Mr. Bhagde, APP for Respondent CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 6 th September, 2010. Heard learned counsel for respective parties. 2. The applicant prays for grant of bail in connection with Crime No. 80/2009 reported at Nandura Police Station Dist Buldana, for offence punishable under section 395 IPC read with sections 3 and 25 of the Indian Arms Act, pursuant to FIR lodged by one Anil Kashyap R/o Sukli Tq. & Dist. Farooqabad ( U.P.) on 2ndAugust, 2009, in respect of the alleged incident which had occurred on 29.7.2009. It is contended on behalf of the applicant that the police have recovered the alleged stolen property from the applicant. It is also contended that the applicant is innocent and has no concern with the offence of dacoity or robbery. He had purchased the goods from one Mohd. Isaq Mohd.Yasin R/o Aurangabad but without bill and become a victim of false assurance that goods are from rejected company lot and, therefore, sold at a lesser price. The unsuspecting applicant, had fallen prey and purchased the goods without even 2 getting the faintest idea about the origin of the goods. It is also contended that the applicant is a reputed business dealing in furniture and electronic gadgetary, is an income tax payer and without any history of criminal antecedents. It is also submitted that the applicant is a law-abiding citizen and is ready and willing to abide by any of the terms and conditions that may be imposed while granting benefit of bail. 3. The learned APP objected grant of bail on the ground that stolen property has been seized from the possession of the applicant who is involved in serious offence as receiver of the stolen property. 4. It appears that the applicant is in custody since 31st July 2010, according to the learned counsel for the applicant; whereas the investigation is on the verge of completion. Considering the nature of accusations and submissions made in that regard, I think benefit of bail may be granted, of course, subject to certain conditions. Hence the following order: The applicant be released on bail, in connection with Cr. No. 80/2009 registered at Nandura Police Station Dist. Buldana, for offence punishable under sections 395 IPC and Sections 3 and 5 of the Indian Arms Act, upon executing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one or more surety in the equal amount, provided further that until completion of investigation against him, he shall cooperate with the Investigating 3 Officer by attending the I.O. as and when required and shall inform his fixed address with telephone/ mobile number,if any, to the I.O. and shall not misuse his liberty in any manner. The applicant shall not commit any crime while on bail. Application is disposed of. Humdast granted. JUDGE Sahare
