Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. Mr.Subhash Jha with Mr.S.Y.Memon for the applicant. Mr.J.P.Yagnik A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 12TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 12TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 12TH NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant has prayed for anticipatory bail in C.R.No.3 of 2005 of Crime Branch, E.O.W. Unit-1 (Banking), C.I.D., Mumbai. Though the prayer made in the application is for anticipatory bail, in effect the applicant is seeking confirmation of the order of anticipatory bail granted by the Sessions Court till disposal of the trial. The Sessions Court vide order dated 17.9.2000 has granted anticipatory bail only till 17.11.2008, perhaps, requiring the applicant to surrender and apply for regular bail since the charge-sheet has already been filed and even the case is committed to the Sessions Court. I do not find any reason to interfere with such order. It is always 2 2 2 open to the applicant to surrender and apply for regular bail and if that application is rejected he can approach this court seeking relief of regular bail. Keeping that in view and having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case I am satisfied that the following order shall meet the ends of justice: . The order of anticipatory bail dated 17.9.2008 which operates till 17.11.2008, shall remain in force for further period of three weeks i.e. till 8th December, 2008. During this period it is open to the applicant to surrender before the Sessions Court and apply for regular bail with prior intimation to the Investigating agency. If the applicant surrenders and files an application, as aforementioned, the Sessions Court shall consider his application, as far as possible, on the very same day and in any case before expiry of the period of three weeks. The applicant to file an application for bail atleast a week before expiry of the period of three weeks. With these observations the application is disposed of. (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
