IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL MISC. APPLICATION ( BAIL ) NO. 268 OF 2007 MR. ANTHONY XAVIER JULIAN VIEGAS ... Appellant Versus S T A T E (BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR) ... Respondent Mr. Aires Rodrigues,Advocate for the applicant. Ms W. Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the State. Coram:- D. B. BHOSALE, J. Date:- 25th January, 2008 P.C. Heard learned Counsel for the parties and learned Public Prosecutor for the State. The applicant has filed this application seeking anticipatory bail in CR. No.279/2007 registered by Ponda police station for the offence punishable U/s.326 of the Indian Penal Code. The offence came to be registered at the instance of Smt.Luiza D'Cruz. It appears that her husband while closing the shutter of his shop on 9.11.2007 at 8 p.m., was allegedly assaulted by the applicant with stick(Danda). Her husband, whose statement is also recorded, seems to have suffered grievous injury to his left ulna. He also suffered contusion on his head which is described by the Doctor as "simple" injury. The applicant was directed to report to the police station every day for a period of one week between 10 a.m and 4 p.m. and make himself available for interrogation. The applicant accordingly did report to the police station every day. Learned Public Prosecutor, however, submitted that he did not co-operate with the investigation. Keeping that view and considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, in my opinion, the applicant deserves to be granted anticipatory bail with strict conditions to be followed till filing of the chargesheet. Hence, the following order. ORDER 1) The applicant is directed to be released on bail in the event of his arrest on his furnishing a personal bond of Rs.15,000/- with 2 sureties of the like amount subject to the following conditions: a) The applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for a period of 2 weeks and thereafter on every Saturday between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. till filing of the chargesheet. b) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make an attempt to tamper with the evidence. c) This order of anticipatory bail shall remain in force till filing of the chargesheet. It would be open for the applicant to apply for regular bail before the regular Court. Application is disposed of. D. B. BHOSALE, J. SMA
