The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Mr.Prakash Naik i/b. Mr.Aniket Vagal for the Applicant. Mr.S.A. Shaikh, APP for the State. CORAM : U.D. SALVI, J. DATED : APRIL 21, 2011 P.C :- 1 Heard. Perused the application and the annexures therewith. 2 The applicant-accused has been convicted of the offences punishable under Section 489B and C and has been sentenced to suffer RI for five years and seven years on respective counts. The co-accused, who was convicted for the offence punishable under 2 cri appln 1484-2010 Section 489C, has been sentenced to suffer RI for seven years as well as fine. 3 It is revealed that the co-accused has been released on bail on the premise that the offence for which he has been convicted is a bailable one. It is further disclosed that the applicant has been imprisoned since his arrest on 2nd February, 2009, and sentences on both the counts are to run concurrently, and he has been given the benefit of set-off. Considering the fact that the co-accused who was sentenced to suffer seven years RI, has been granted bail, it will be unjust to brush aside the plea for bail of the applicant-accused. However, it cannot be overlooked that the applicant-accused no.1 who was involved in trafficking of the counterfeit notes, is from West Bengal (vide para no.32 of the impugned judgment), He has initially styled himself as Shankarsen Jagatsen. These facts call for strict conditions of bail. Hence, the order. 3 cri appln 1484-2010 4 The applicant-accused shall be released on PR Bond of Rs.25,000/- with one or two local solvent sureties in the like amount subject to the following conditions :- i)shall keep the police informed of his whereabouts from time to time, ii) shall not leave the limits of Pen Police Station without the permission of the Court and shall report to Pen Police Station on every Saturday between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. during the pendency of the appeal. 5 Application stands disposed of accordingly.
