CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 1st September, 2008. DATED : 1st September, 2008. DATED : 1st September, 2008. P.C.: . Leave to amend. Amendment to be carried out forthwith. 2. Heard the learned Advocate for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 3. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.307 of 2008 of Panvel Police station. The said case is under Section 420 of IPC. The learned APP seeks time till 9th September, 2008 to take instructions. However, the learned Advocate for the applicant prays that the applicant may be protected in the meanwhile. ..(2).. 4. When the applicant had preferred this application for anticipatory bail before this Court on 30th August, 2008, C.R. number and police station were not known to him. However, the learned APP states that the said C.R. has been registered at Panvel police station. Hence, leave to amend came to be granted. As the C.R. number and police station was not known, the applicant had approached this Court directly. Now that the necessary details are known, it would be appropriate that the applicant prefers an application for anticipatory bail before the concerned Sessions Court. Looking to the above facts, I am inclined to pass the following order :- ORDER (i) Liberty is granted to the applicant to prefer an application for anticipatory bail before the concerned Sessions Court. On necessary application for anticipatory bail being preferred, the concerned ..(3).. Sessions Court shall hear the matter and dispose it of on merits. (ii) To enable the applicant to prefer necessary application for anticipatory bail before the concerned Sessions Court, I am inclined to grant interim protection in respect of arrest till 9th September, 2008. In the event of arrest, the applicant - Mr.Sunil Gangaram Jadhav to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rs.Ten Thousand Only) with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. It is made clear that this order granting interim protection shall remain in operation only till 9th September, 2008. (iii) Criminal Application is disposed of accordingly. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
