((-1-)) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3351 OF 2006 Sripad Mahadev Lad Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent M.K.Kocharekar i/by P.V.Vare for applicant. S.S.Pednekar, APP for State. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 25th September 2006 PC : 1. The applicant is arrested on 26th April 2006 in connection with CR No.23 of 2006. The offences alleged are cheating and forgery. 2. From a perusal of the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge it is clear that the charge sheet is filed. The investigations are complete. The co-accused are released on bail. Apart from parity, Shri Kocharekar submits that the applicant would not abscond and would be available for being tried for the offences. He states that he is deeply and firmly rooted in Navi Mumbai having premises of his own where he ((-2-)) was residing with his wife, son and daughter-in-law. Additionally, he is making an endeavour to settle the matter with the complainant bank. 3. Shri Hingorani, learned APP, does not dispute that the investigations are complete and charge sheet is filed. However, he submits that the applicant is directly involved in submission of false and fabricated documents, obtaining loan to the extent of Rs.14.50 lakh as also submitting forged guarantees. On several occasions it was found that the applicant was not available on Navi Mumbai address and had shifted to Kolhapur. 4. Learned advocate for the applicant disputes this fact and submits that if the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall report daily at D.N.Nagar Police Station so also will not leave Mumbai and Navi Mumbai without prior permission of the Trial Court. 5. Since the investigations are complete, charge sheet is filed and the applicant is having no antecedents and willing to co-operate with the investigating machinery, the following order would serve the ends of justice. ((-3-)) 6.
