1 BA-189.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.189 OF 2011 Anand Kumar Pandey s/o Parmanand Pandey .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Ms Yogini Ghawale for the Applicant. Ms Alpa T. Javeri, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: MARCH 14, 2011 P.C: 1. The applicant had actually withdrawn a sum of Rs.8,78,000/- from the Varanasi Branch of the State Bank of India after forging a cheque, drawn on the account of one Sayyed Hassan Miya. Merely because the co-accused who were only present at the Varanasi Branch when the present applicant withdrew the amount have been bailed out, the applicant cannot claim bail, since the amount has not yet been recovered by the police. The amount is huge. It is Rs.8,78,000/- and, therefore, the application is rejected. 2 BA-189.11 2. The learned trial Magistrate may expedite the hearing of the case considering the fact that the applicant is in jail. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
