IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY: NAGPUR BENCH: NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 371/2008 Pankaj Yawale ..vs.. state =================================== CORAM: S.R. DONGAONKARM,J. DATE : 14.2.2008 Heard Mr. Loney, Advocate for the applicant & Mr. Kothari, A.P.P. for state. This is an application u/s 438 of Cr.P.C. Interim order was passed on 31.7.2008. Question is whether it should be confirmed. Learned APP has submitted that the co-accused has named this applicant as the printer of the said receipts which were found to be bogus and forged. I have perused the said receipts, it does not bear the signature of the person issuing that receipt or even of any official of the Market Committee. No doubt it is called to be a forged receipt, fact remains that the said allegation is based on the statement & memorandum of co-accused. In these circumstances, the validity of the same to implicate present applicant is debatable. In these circumstances, therefore interim order needs to be confirmed. In the event of arrest of the applicant for the offences u/s 420, 468, 471 r/w 34 of IPC in Crime No.49/07 of P.S. Shirasgaon, he be released on bail on furnishing surety and PRB of Rs.20000/- subject to conditions that he shall report P.S. Shirasgaon as and when directed by the I.O. for the purposes of investigation and shall not directly or indirectly tamper with the prosecution evidence. It is made clear that the above observations are in prima facie view of the matter therefore they shall not anyway influence the trial Judge while deciding the matter on merits. . Application stands disposed of. JUDGE smp.
