1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 452 OF 2009 Mr. Pralhad Balu Kale ..... Applicant. v/s State of Maharashtra ...... Respondent. ------ Mr. Rajesh Katore for the applicant. Mr. Rajesh More, APP for the State. ------ CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 6th February, 2009 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicant has been arrested in connection with the offence punishable under sections 457, 380, 34, 411, 201, 413, 75, 401 of the Indian Penal Code. Applicant is a history sheeter and there are as many as six cases which are pending against him for similar offences. The recovery has been made at the instance of the present applicant from the jewellers. 3. Taking into consideration the antecedents of the applicant and that that the recovery of ornaments has been made at the instance of the applicant, this is not a fit case for grant of bail since the applicant is likely to commit similar offences if he is released on bail. 2 4. Application for bail is, therefore, rejected. However, trial is expedited. If the trial is not over within a reasonable period of time , applicant may apply for bail again. 5. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
