Ladda 1 appa-159-11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION No. 159 of 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 93 OF 2004 Anil Ramchandra Mane ..Applicant/Appellant in custody. Versus The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent. ...... Yug Mohit Chaudhary, Advocate for Petitioner. Mr H.J. Dedhia, A.P.P.for the State. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED:- 18th February, 2011. P.C. 1. This is second bail application preferred by the applicant. The first bail application was rejected on 22nd October, 2008, being Criminal Application No.365 of 2007, on merits. At the same time, the Court observed that if the appeal does not reach for final hearing, within six months, the applicant will be free to renew his prayer for bail. The applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under section 302 of I.P.C. The record indicates that the offence was premeditated, as Ladda 2 appa-159-11 is contended by the learned A.P.P. At the same time, it is noticed that the applicant has already undergone actual sentence period of 10 years, 10 months and 21 days. Thus, if the applicant were to be, eventually, convicted for the said offence, he would have to undergo total imprisonment for a period of 20 years with remission. The present sentence undergone by the applicant with remission works out around to 14 years and 22 days. On the other hand, if the applicant were to succeed, eventually, in the appeal, the sentence undergone by the applicant cannot be reversed. Besides, the appeal filed by the applicant pertains to year 2004 and has not reached for hearing so far. Presently, appeals of the year 2002 are notified under the category “convicts in jail” for final hearing. 2. Learned A.P.P., on instructions, states that the applicant does not have any other criminal antecedents. Besides, while in jail, on every occasion when he was released on parole or furlough leave, he has abided the conditions specified by the Appropriate Authority and returned to jail in time. Taking over all view of the matter, the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail on the following conditions. (a) The applicant be released on bail on furnishing bond in the sum of Rs. 15,000/-with one or two sureties in the Ladda 3 appa-159-11 like amount. (b) The applicant shall report once in a month to Kurla Police Station, Mumbai, on first Monday of every English Calender month between 10 a.m to 1 p.m. (c) The applicant shall furnish his latest residential address to the local police station and shall not travel outside Mumbai without prior intimation of 48 hours in writing to the local police station and also disclose his travel programme and the contact place where he would visit.
