1 Cri-A-651-10.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Mhi CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 651 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3898 OF 2009 Shri Ajit Sohanlal Jain ... Applicant/Accused vs. State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr.Rajesh S.Sharma a/w Sunil Jadhav i/b. Rajeshs. Sharma and Associates, Advocates, for the applicant. Mrs. G.P.Mulekar, APP, for the respondent- State. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 7th January, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard. The applicant, who was granted bail with certain conditions, seeks relaxation of condition not to travel abroad without prior permission of the Court. 2. The learned APP objects to the same. Learned Counsel for the applicant points out that initially, the investigation was being done by Kasarvadawali Police Station, Thane, and charge-sheet was also filed. However, later on, investigation is taken over by the State CID and for last one year, no supplementary charge-sheet has been filed, even though time has been taken for 2 Cri-A-651-10.sxw that. The condition imposed while granting bail requires that he shall not leave India without prior permission of the Court and shall also deposit the Passport with the Investigating Officer. 3. Taking into consideration the nature of offence and the allegations, it will not be proper to relax the condition completely. However, in view of the fact that the investigation itself is taking long time and it is not sure when the trial will come to an end, he may be granted permission for longer period at a time so that every time, when he is required to go abroad, he is not required to rush to the Court for permission. 4. Therefore, the applicant is granted leave to travel abroad for a period of three months. However, he shall submit the detailed schedule of his journey to State C.I.D. before leaving the country. On return from journey, he shall deposit the Passport with the C.I.D. Thereafter the applicant shall be at liberty to move an application giving details of his journey during next 3 to 6 months and taking into consideration status of the trial etc., the trial Court shall grant him permission.
