IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4276 OF 2004 Mohammed Ajaz Merchant s/o Mohammed Mehboob Merchant ... Applicant versus State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr. H.A. Solkar, with Mr. N.B. Khan, for the Applicant. Mr. D.R. More, A.P.P., for the Respondent. ... CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR,J. 1st November 2004 P.C.: . Heard Counsel for the parties. Perused the record. I find no reason to depart from the conclusion reached by the Court below in rejecting the bail application preferred by the Applicant. The argument canvassed before this Court by Mr. Solkar is that there is nothing on record to suggest that the Applicant before this Court was the same person, who has been referred to as Ajaz Shaikh by the complainant as his full name is Mohammed Ajaz Merchant s/o Mohammed Mehboob Merchant. This, to my mind, clearly overlooks the materials on record. From the record, it is seen that independent persons have identified the Applicant as involved in the commission of offence and the Applicant is the same person, who has been referred to by the Complainant as Ajaz Shaikh. Having regard to the nature and seriousness of the offence, not a case for bail. Rejected. . Parties to act on the authenticated copy of this order. (A.M.KHANWILKAR,J.)
