1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO. 2804 OF 2009 Shri Mahesh Karbhari Borade .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Rajiv Patil i/b M/s Jay & Co, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. S. S. Pednekar, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D. B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 01/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No. I- 263 of 2009 of Nasik Road Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 147, 148, 149,395, 427, 109 of IPC and under section 135 of Bombay T 2 Police Act. 3. The incident of dacoity occurred on 25.4.2009 when some demonstrations against the arrest of one Kailash Mudaliar were going on. The applicant and other accused were also involved in the demonstration. It is alleged that the applicant and the co- accused robbed the shop of the complainant. Mr. Pednekar, learned APP, fairly submits that in the supplementary statement of the complainant recorded on 2.5.2009 he has stated that the so-called stolen articles were in the custody of his brother and he produced the same in the police station. In view thereof, it was further submitted that custodial interrogation of the applicant, is not necessary. Having considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and that all the articles have already been recovered, I am inclined to grant this application for pre-arrest bail. Hence, the following order. In the event of arrest, the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions incorporated in sub-section (2) of Section 438 of Cr.P.C. Further, the applicant is directed to report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Saturday between 6 and 7 pm 3 for a period of 30 days from today and thereafter as and when called. While passing this order, I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
