1 crn.274-10-cra.296-08 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.274 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.296 OF 2008 Umesh Vasudev Gupta. ..Applicant. Versus The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. .... Ms.Kranti S.S. Anand, Advocate for the Applicant. Smt.U.V. Kejariwal, A.P.P. for the State. .... CORAM : A.R.JOSHI, J. DATED : 28TH JANUARY, 2011 [IN CHAMBER, 2:30 PM] P.C. 1. Heard rival submissions on this repeated bail application preferred by applicant (orig.accused No.3). 2. Earlier bail applications i.e. Criminal Application No.657 / 2008 & Criminal Application No.1089/2008 were heard and disposed of by this Court on 6.4.2009 wherein prayer for bail of the present applicant was rejected after hearing the parties on merits. 3. The maximum punishment awarded to the present applicant is seven years RI for the offence punishable under Section 304-B of Indian Penal Code. Apart from the said 2 crn.274-10-cra.296-08 punishment, other lesser punishments were imposed for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A and 306 of Indian Penal Code. 4. Admittedly, there are no changed circumstances so as to view the present application differently than that was considered earlier. Apparently, out of seven years' maximum punishment, the applicant has undergone the imprisonment hardly for 2 ½ years to 3 years. As such, it cannot be a ground for granting the present application for bail. Hence, present application stands rejected and accordingly disposed of. 5. The applicant is at liberty to ask for early hearing of the appeal before the appropriate Court which is seized of Appeal. (A.R. JOSHI, J.) PPD
