IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Application No.4086 of 2008 (Shantiranjan Paresh Sarkar v. State of Maharashtra) And Criminal Revision No.4087 of 2008 (Sushant Namdeorao Wagh v. State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri M.P. Khajanchi, Advocate for Applicants. Shri D.B. Patel, APP for State. Coram : R.C. Chavan, J. Dated : 21st January, 2009 The applicants, the disciples of Shri Vasantrao Gonge, had been admitted to interim bail on 25-11-2008. It is not in dispute that they have been co-operating in the investigation. The learned APP for the State has made available for my perusal the statement of Shri Vasantrao Gonge. He stated that his programmes used to be held at various places and these two disciples, without his permission, had collected some amount. Therefore, he does not know how the amount was collected from whom and with whom it was kept. He stated that he did not make any enquiry in this regard. In spite of this, Shri Vasantrao Gonge went on to state that in the years 2003-2005, the two disciples had collected the sum of Rs.17,76,445/-, and Rs. 2,14,817/- by donation and a further sum of Rs.4,08,307/-. However, the duo made an entry of Rs.11,44,630/- only in the diary in addition to an entry of a sum of Rs.18,707/-. Now it is inexplicable as to how Shri Vasantrao Gonge could give the exact amounts, which were collected and mentioned in the diary, if he had made no enquiries as to what amounts were collected in his name by the two disciples and how those amounts were appropriated. In view of this, there is no case for refusal of anticipatory bail to the two applicants. Interim order passed on 25-11-2008 is, therefore, confirmed. Should the Investigating Officer so feel, he could apply for cancellation of bail after making out a case for doing so. Judge. pdl
