Mr. A.R.Mundergi,Sr.Advocate i/by Amol Patankar for the Applicant. Smt.V.R.Bhosale, APP for the State. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 19th April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in CR No.53/2010 registered by the Vasai Police Station for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 384, 386,m 354, 325, 506(2) and 323 of the I.P.C. This crime has been registered on the basis of the FIR given by one Precila Jony Dicona. It is her case that the present applicant came on the spot on 29.3.2010 in the morning at 10.39a.m. 2 and was trying to extract the money on the footing that if the monies are not paid then their structures will be broken. He was also carrying revolver with which he threated the owners of the structures. The applicant has also filed cross complaint against the Corporator and some ladies being FIR No.54/2010 for the alleged offences U/s. 395, 323, 427 of the I.P.C. The learned APP states that the present applicant has got antecedents and the statement that he has no antecedents is incorrect. Be that as it may, in my view, police is required to investigate this matter and to find out whether there were extortion activities going on under the guise of corruption. Application is therefore, rejected. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
