1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 331 OF 2009 Sambhaji Pandurang Kapare ...... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ...... Respondent. ------- Mr. Indrajeet Joshi i/b Mr. S.R. Ganbavale for the applicant. Mrs. M.H. Mhatre, APP for the State. ------ CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 30th January, 2009 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. A complaint has been lodged against the present applicant for the offence punishable under sections 420 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Pursuant to the agreement executed between the applicant and one Mr. Somnath Aktar, who was shown as Chairman of Balaji Milk & Milk Products, complainant - company had supplied milk to the applicant. It is the case of the applicant that entire amount which was due and payable has been paid by him and in support of that he has annexed Ledger Accounts of Balaji Milk & Milk Products. It is submitted that the only allegation in the complaint filed by 2 the complainant is that an amount of Rs 13 lacs has not been paid by the applicant for the milk supplied. In my view, since that is the only allegation made, prima facie, it appears to be a civil dispute and, therefore, applicant deserves to be granted anticipatory bail. 4. Applicant, in the event of his arrest in connection with C.R. No.176 of 2008 which is registered with Kurduwadi Police Station, District Solapur, for the offence punishable under sections 420 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, be released on bail in the sum of Rs 5000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. Applicant shall not threaten the complainant or any other witnesses and if any further complaint is received his bail shall be cancelled. 5. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
