MP 1 ABA794_11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO. 794 OF 2011 Mr. Shivam Krishnakant Pandey and others ... Applicants Versus State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Subodh Desai, Advocate for Applicants. Smt. Shinde, APP for the Respondent State. CORAM : J. H. BHATIA, J. DATE : 21ST SEPTEMBER 2011 P. C. : On 14th September 2011, applicants filed an application for anticipatory bail before the learned Sessions Judge in C.R. No. 162 of 2011 registered with the CBD Belapur Police Station and also sought ad-interim relief. The said application came before the concerned Additional Sessions Judge on 15th September 2011 wherein he issued notice to the Investigating Officer, returnable on 29th September 2011. Therefore, the applicants have moved this Court for anticipatory bail or at least for ad-interim anticipatory bail. 2. It would not be proper for this Court to entertain the application for anticipatory bail when already the application is pending in the Sessions Court. However, at the same time, it was not proper for the Additional Sessions Judge to give such a long date. Therefore, this application stands disposed of with the following directions: a. The Investigating Officer shall remain present before the Sessions Court on 23rd September 2011 at 2.30 p.m. and the concerned Additional Sessions Judge, Thane shall hear the application for anticipatory bail and pass an order on the same as far as possible on the same day. 3. APP to communicate this order to the concerned Investigating Officer. (J. H. BHATIA, J)
