1 CA-5116.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE  CRIMINAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5116 OF 2010 Ayub Khan S/o Jalil Khan & Anr. .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri A.M. Saraogi for the Applicant. Shri J.P. Kharge, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: NOVEMBER 18, 2010 P.C: This is an application for anticipatory bail by persons who are alleged to have beaten one Salim Ahmed Jahir Ahmed, an employee of Mohammed Wasim Qureshi, who had carried a bounced cheque of Rs.4,00,000/- to the office of applicant No.1 Ayub Khan for being exchanged for cash. Instead of giving him cash, the applicants beat up the said Salim Ahmed Jahir Ahmed and forcibly took away the bounced cheque of Rs.4,00,000/-. Obviously the bounced cheque of Rs.4,00,000/- had no value. A report of the incident was given on 17-10-2010. Considering the nature of the allegations made, it is not clear as to why custodial interrogation of the applicants would be necessary. In view of this, the application is allowed. The apprehension of the learned 2 CA-5116.10 counsel for the complainant that the applicants may run away could be taken care of by imposing stringent conditions. In the event of their arrest the applicants be released on bail in C.R. No.448 of 2010 of Malad Police Station, Mumbai on their furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.50,000/- per person on the condition that the applicants shall report at the police concerned initially on 22-11-2010 at 10:00 a.m. and thereafter as and when required by the I.O. and also on every Sunday till the charge-sheet is filed. The applicants shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer and they shall not leave the country without the prior permission of the trial Court. This order shall remain in force till the charge-sheet is filed. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
