- 1 - VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION No. 679 OF 2008 Mrunal Sunil Gite Applicant vs. State of Maharashtra Respondent Ms. Sunita Sharma, h/f Mr. S. V. Marwadi, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. Rajesh More, APP for the respondent. CORAM : D. G. KARNIK, J. DATE : MARCH 18, 2008. PC 1. Heard. 2. The applicant who has been released on bail on furnishing cash sucurities of Rs.50,000/-, prays that she be permitted to furnish surety of Rs.50,000/- instead of cash. 3. By an order dated 24th August 2007 this Court [Coram : V.C. Daga, J.] granted interim bail to the - 2 - applicant on her executing personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety in the like amount. The order further stated that in the event applicant does not get surety she can furnish cash security in lieu of the surety. By order dated 28th January 2008 interim bail was confirmed on the same terms and conditions. 4. The applicant was unable to get solvency certificate for the surety, so she got released herself by deposit cash security of Rs.50,000/-. Having now obtained solvency certificate for the surety, the applicant prays that she be permitted to furnish the surety instead of cash. 5. By the original order of this court dated 24th August 2007 the applicant was directed to be released on bail on furnishing surety of Rs.50,000/-. She was however granted concession of deposit of cash instead of surety, if she was unable to get solvent surety immediately. Now that the applicant has got solvent surety she is willing to fulfill the condition of surety. I see no reason to deny this prayer. 6. The applicant is permitted to furnish solvent surety of Rs.50,000/- to the satisfaction of the - 3 - courtwithin two weeks. Cash security of Rs.50,000/- deposited by the applicant may be released by the trial Court, on acceptance of the surety. Sd/- [ D. G. KARNIK, J.]
