1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 270 OF 2010 Aatmaram Janardhan Navghare Vs. State of Maharashtra P.S.O.P.S.Washim Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Shri N. W. Kalwaghe Adv for applicant. Shri Fulzele APP for State/respondents. CORAM: A. P. BHANGALE J. Dated: 17 th FEBRUARY, 2010. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the applicant placed reliance on Rohit Bhagchand Karnavat & Another Vs. State of Maharashtra reported in 2002 ALL MR (Cri) 1699 in order to argue that the Court entertaining application for anticipatory bail has to consider the nature of the offence, alleged possibility of abscondance of accused as also criminal antecedents, if any, of the applicant and then decide anticipatory bail application. 2 It appears that before filing this application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Criminal Procedure Code applicant had moved before the learned Additional Sessions Judge Washim who by well reasoned order dated 10.02.2009 rejected anticipatory bail application. Nature of offence as revealed is serious. It is alleged that present applicant who is responsible person serving as a Gram Sewak was put under suspension and he had entered into cabin of Chief Executive officer Shri Tukaram Mundhe and threw glass paper weight after abusing the Government Officer and disturbed the public official functioning in the office of the Chief Executive Officer. While other officials attempted to stop the applicant, applicant ran away by using motorcycle. Considering this accusation the plea of anticipatory bail cannot be allowed. Investigating Officer as in this case must be given adequate opportunity to probe into the matter. Custodial interrogation of the applicant may be necessary as prosecution may have to conduct identification parade also. For all the aforesaid reasons application stands rejected. JUDGE svk 3 4 5 6
