1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Application No. 1378 of 2010 Tashi Ladoe v. CBI ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr R.M. Daga, Adv for applicant Mr Shyam Ahirkar, Special Counsel for respondent-CBI Coram: A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 16th September 2010 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Applicant is seeking bail in CBI Case No. RC SIB 2009 E 0004 EOU-V, New Delhi for the offences punishable under Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 49 and 49-B punishable under Section 51 of the Wild Life Protection Act, 1972, registered on 6.11.2009. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that all the offences are triable by the Magistrate. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that there is no past criminal history attached to the applicant and he is involved on the basis of alleged confessional statement made by co- accused which is not admissible in the eye of law. He submits that one of the co-accused was released on conditional bail vide order dated 27th July 2010 in Criminal Application No. 925 of 2010 and he prays for grant of bail on parity also. 2 3. As against this, learned special counsel for CBI argues that co- accused left Ballarpur along with wild animal skins, bones, body parts etc. for being sold to prospective buyers through their key associate viz. present applicant. He submits that in some other case, one otter skin has been recovered from the present applicant. 4. It is not disputed that present applicant was not a party of a gang which allegedly left Ballarpur for Delhi along with incriminating material. It is suspected that through the present applicant, co-accused were planning to sell the wild animal skin, bones, parts etc. to the prospective buyers. Applicant is in custody since 6.11.2009, that is to say, for about ten months. In my opinion, he can be granted conditional bail. Hence, the following order. 5. Applicant be released on bail upon his executing PR Bond in the sum of Rs. 30,000/- with one or more sureties in the like amount. Applicant shall attend the Investigating officer as and when called. He will not commit any crime while on bail. Applicant shall not communicate with any of the prosecution witnesses and shall not tamper with prosecution evidence in any manner. Applicant shall leave his fixed address along with telephone/cellphone number (if any) to the Investigating Officer and to the concerned Court after charge-sheet is filed and shall communicate change therein, if any, forthwith in future. Application stands disposed of accordingly. Hamdast. Judge. hsj 3
