DATE : 29th April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of regular bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in MECR. No.4/2006(C.R.No.501/2006) registered by Nerul Police Station for the alleged offences punishable Under Section 403,406,420, 465,468,471,467,474,477(a), 506(2) read with 34 of the I.P.C. The applicant was earlier associated in an Advisory capacity in the Co-operative Society by name Shree Mahalakshmi Nagari Seva Sahakari 2 Sanstha Ltd. From 2005 onwards he was Chairman of the said society. The allegation in the complaint is that the complainant paid an amount of Rs.1.20 lacs but he was not given gala. It is also the allegation that amount of Rs.14.00 lacs received on behalf of the society was mis-utilized. It is seen that, in this case initially crime has been registered on 14.11.2006 in pursuance of order under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C. Anticipatory bail was granted by this court till filing of the Auditor s report. The Auditor s report was filed on 30.4.2007 and hence, anticipatory bail granted came to an end. The applicant has been regularly arrested on 14.6.2009 and he is in custody for about 10 months. In my view, this is a case where bail can be granted. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in pursuance of MECR No. 4/2006( CR No.501/2006) registered by Nerul Police Station, Navi Mumbai, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he 3 will not tamper with prosecution witnesses and will remain present on all the dates of the trial in the trial court, unless exempted. Application is disposed off. 2 Parties to act on a copy of this order duly authenticated by the registry of this court. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
