1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2437 OF 2010 Ganesh S/o.Babanrao Pawal APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra and another RESPONDENTS WITH CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2438 OF 2010 Parmeshwar S/o.Pandurang Pathade APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra and another RESPONDENTS Mr.R.V.Deshmukh, learned counsel for applicants in both applications. Mr.S.G.Nandedkar, learned APP for State CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J. DATE : 20/07/2010 PER COURT : 1. By way of these two applications, the applicants are before this Court to seek the relief of anticipatory bail, in the event of their arrest in connection with CR No.54/2010, registered in Talwada 2 Police Station, Dist. Beed. 2. Heard learned counsel for applicants in both applications, learned APP for State. Perused the papers of investigation till carried out. 3. It appears that the said CR was registered on the complaint of Village Talathi of Sajja Daithan. Perusal of the complaint and papers of investigation, it revealed that the complainant Talathi was called by the Tahsildar Gevrai on receipt of secret information that some trucks are unauthorizedly excavating, and transporting the sand from the river bed of Godawari. Accordingly the Tahsildar alongwith this complainant and some other revenue staff, visited the spot, where they noticed that 8 trucks were excavating sand without having any valid permit for it. They tried to intercept those trucks, but can only intercept the truck involved in this offence bearing No.MH-16-Q-3890, while transporting the sand of which the applicant in the first application is the owner and applicant in the second application is the driver, for which they are not holding the valid permit. Considering the present scenario in the Marathwada 3 Region about the smuggling of the sand for various purposes and assault on revenue authorities, these are not the cases where this court can exercise its inherent powers to grant anticipatory bail to those persons, who were indulged in transporting the sand without valid permit for it. In view of this, both the applications are hereby rejected. (A.V.POTDAR, J.) khs/JULY 2010/cri-appl-2437-10
