Mr.K.V.Saste APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 19.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application made by 3 applicants for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicants are shown as accused in C.R.No.74/2006 registered by the Patan police station, Dist. Satara on 7.7.2006 for alleged offences under Section 3 & 7 of Essential Commodities Act and under sections 406, 409 r/w 34 of IPC. The prosecution case is that in collusion with the 2 officers of the Tahsil office, huge quantity of wheat and rice, : 2 : in excess of permitted quota were alloted to the applicants and they sold it to the non ration card holders at an exhorbitant rates. It is contended that 2 of the government servants have been granted bail. In my view, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail particularly when offence under Section 409 of IPC is punishable with life imprisonment. Application stands rejected.
