Deshmukh h/f Mr. A.N. Neharkar, Advocate for appellant/Applicant. Mr. D.R. Korde, A.P.P. for respondent / State PER COURT : 1. The appellant is now seeking bail in this appeal. 2. The appellant was on bail when the trial was pending. The appellant is ultimately convicted under section 7, 13(1)(d) r/w section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. It was usual trap case. The main prosecution witness – the complainant at the time of trial, turned hostile to the prosecution and virtually supported the appellant. Despite this, the learned judge of the lower court, convicted and sentenced the appellant. The appellant, since 2 his conviction, is in custody. In my view, this is a fit case to grant bail to the appellant. In view of this, the substantive sentence is suspended and the appellant be released on bail of Rs. 5,000/- (Rs. Five thousand) with one surety in the like amount. Certified copy be expedited. Dt : 13th April, 10 [A.V. NIRGUDE, J.] tsk/cri.apln1432.10
