1 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 136 of 2010 Mr.Jagri Parvez S/o Nazer Hussain ... Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr S.V.Kotwal i/b Dr.M.Shah Alam Khah for the applicant. Mr.K.V. Saste APP for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 1st February 2010 P.C. 1. Heard. 2. The matter was heard on 14th January 2010 when the learned APP submitted that applicant was absconding and did not deserve bail. He also submitted that Sessions Court had also rejected the bail inter alia on the ground that applicant was absconding. This was seriously disputed by Mr.Kotwal appearing for the applicant, who submitted that accused was never absconding and police had come to his godown only once when he was unfortunately not present and he was all the while 2 available either at his residence or godown except for occasional visit outside for the business. Learned APP was directed to produce a copy of relevant page of the station diary to show visits of the police to the place of residence/godown of the applicant and other efforts, if any, made by the police before claiming that applicant was absconding. Learned APP, today, on verification of the police diary states that police had gone to the godown of the applicant only once. The applicant is also present in the court today and was present on the last date also. I am not satisfied that the applicant was absconding. 3. I am informed at the bar that investigation is completed and charge-sheet has also been filed in respect of a co-accused. Since the investigation is completed, there is no need of arresting the applicant for any custodial interrogation. The applicant can therefore be granted interim protection to enable him to appear before the Sessions Court and apply for regular bail. Hence, I pass the following order:- O R D E R In the event applicant is arrested in connection with C.R.No. 167 of 2008 of Pimpri Police station, he shall be released on bail on execution of P.R. Bond of Rs.15,000/- with two sureties of the like 3 amount. This order shall remain in force for a period of two weeks of till the charge-sheet is filed against the applicant whereupon the applicant may if he so desires apply for a regular bail. If such an application is made, the Sessions Court shall consider it appropriately on its own merits. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
