APPA729-10 RMA IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 729 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 485 OF 2008 Sajid Ikrammudin Kazi @ Altaf Kazi .. Applicant Vs Union of India & Anr. .. Respondents Ms. Nilofor Sayad for the Applicant Ms. P.H. Kantharia for Respondent No. 1 - NCB Ms. A.A. Mane, APP for the State CORAM : SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J DATE : 9th AUGUST, 2010 IN CHAMBER AT 2.40 P.M. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant - original accused, the learned counsel for respondent no. 1 NCB and the learned APP. 2. The applicant was granted bail by this court by order dated 4th July, 2008. One of the conditions while granting bail was that the applicant shall report to NCB, Ballard Pier, Mumbai twice in a week for a period of six months and thereafter once in a week. The applicant as directed reported to NCB twice in a week for a period of six months and thereafter, he has been reporting once in a week for the last about 1 and 1/2 years. Now, the applicant is seeking 1 APPA729-10 relaxation of the said condition of reporting once in a week to NCB. Thus,he has prayed that the condition of reporting to NCB Mumbai be modified from once in a week to once in three months. 3. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant has to report once in a week to office of NCB, Mumbai and the office of NCB is not open on Saturday and Sunday. The applicant was working with ICICI Prudential at Kandivali and because of constant weekly leave for reporting to the office of NCB, he lost his job. Thereafter, with great difficulty, the applicant had found a new job. As it is a new job, it is difficult to get four leaves in a month. The learned counsel further submitted that if the applicant has to continue to report once in a week, he would have to take leave for four working days in a month due to which he would again lose this new job which he has got with great difficulty. 4. Looking to the above facts, I am inclined to modify the condition of reporting to NCB, Mumbai from once in a week to once in a two months. 5. Application is disposed of. [SMT. V.K.
