IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL MISC. APPLICATION NO. 217 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPLICATION ( BAIL ) NO. 159 OF 2011 SHRI JITENDRA DESHPRABHU, PRESENTLY IN POLICE CUSTODY OF CBCID, DONA PAULA, THROUGH BROTHER., ... Applicant Versus STATE, THROUGH POLICE INSPECTOR, CB CID, DONA PAULA, PANAJI., ... Respondent Mr. D. Pangam, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. C. A. Ferreira, Public Prosecutor for the State-Respondent. Coram:- F. M. REIS, J. Date:- 7th December, 2011 P.C. Heard Shri Pangam, learned Counsel appearing for the Applicant and SHri C. A. Ferreira, learned Public Prosecutor for the State-Respondent. 2. The application has been filed by the Applicant to seek modification of condition no.iv, whereby the Applicant has been asked to seek permission of this Court every time he has to leave the State of Goa. Shri Pangam, the learned Counsel, has pointed out that as and when the Applicant desires to leave the State of Goa for his business and other activities, the Respondents did not raise any objection on that count. Learned Counsel appearing for the Applicant further points out that since the Applicant has been released on bail, the Applicant was hardly called for any investigation by the Respondent. Learned Counsel pointed out that seeking permission on numerous occasions is causing inconvenience to the Applicant and, as such, the condition no.iv imposed by this Court deserves to be deleted. 3. On the other hand, Shri C. A. Ferreira, learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the Respondent, has opposed the request of the learned Counsel appearing for the Applicant. Learned Public Prosecutor further pointed out that the investigation is still in progress and the Applicant may be required for investigation at any moment. Learned Public Prosecutor further pointed out that in case the condition no.iv is deleted, the Applicant may not be available for investigations before the Investigating Officer. 4. Shri Pangam, the learned Counsel in reply to the submissions of the learned Public Prosecutor points out that the Applicant shall inform the Investigating Officer every time he leaves the State of Goa. 5. Having heard the learned Counsel and on perusal of the record and taking note of the fact that it is not in dispute that the Applicant has hardly been called for investigations after he has been released on bail and that the Respondent has in fact not objected to permit him to leave the State on different occasions earlier, I find that the condition no. iv imposed by this Court whilst granting bail to the Applicant, can be suitably modified. The Applicant, if he desires to take permission to leave the State of Goa, shall initially inform the Respondent/Investigation Officer one week in advance and in case the Respondent does not grant such permission, liberty is given to the Applicant to approach this Court. It is clarified that the condition no.iv as imposed by this Court to the effect that the Applicant shall not leave the State of Goa shall continue in operation subject to the modification stated herein above. 6. Application stands disposed of accordingly. F. M. REIS, J. arp/*
