((-1-)) MST IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.853 OF 2007 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.707 OF 2007 Dashrath V. Barasakle Appellant versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr.Santosh Deshpande for appellant. Mr.Rajesh More, APP for respondent. CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. DATE : 3rd April 2008 PC : 1. Heard counsel for the parties. Having regard to the involvement of the applicant in the commission of offence which is established from the record as well as other evidence on record and the offence being serious offence coupled with the fact that the applicant has indulged in similar offence in the past, as is noted in paragraph 29 of the affidavit in reply filed before this Court, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant as at present. Even though, the applicant claims to have already undergone almost 50% of the sentence period, this ((-2-)) MST application is rejected by giving liberty to the applicant to renew the application for bail in December 2008 in the event the appeal does not mature for hearing. As the applicant has already filed additional paper book, if the appeal is ready in all other respects, the appeal be listed for hearing as per its turn. (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
