1 cri3625.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3625 OF 2011 Rajendra S/o Tukaram Pokale ..Applicant -VERSUS- The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent ..... Mr. N.V. Gaware, Advocate for applicant Mrs. R.K. Ladda, APP for respondent ..... (CORAM : SHRIHARI P. DAVARE,J.) DATE : 29th September, 2011. PER COURT : 1. Perused the investigation papers which were made available for inspection purpose and heard the learned counsel for the respective parties finally. 2. This is an application preferred by the applicant seeking anticipatory bail apprehending his arrest, in connection with C.R. No. I-237/2011, registered at Tophkhana Police Station, Dist. Ahmednagar, for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. It appears that the crime has been registered on the basis of the complaint lodged by the complainant 2 cri3625.11 namely; Dattatraya Zumbar Dhadge on 29th June, 2011. It also appears that said complaint was also lodged against two co-accused persons namely; Tushar Sunil Pare and Suresh Zumbar Vidhate alleging that the said accused nos. 1 and 2 came to the Civil hospital, Ahmednagar at about 12.30 p.m. on 29.06.2011 and produced the false and forged disability certificate bearing forged signature of Dr. Sonawane, Orthopedics Surgeon and Civil Surgeon and R.M.O. and thereby cheated and deceived the Government. 4. Apparently, the name of the applicant has not been reflected in the F.I.R. However, the name of the applicant came into picture subsequently on the basis of the statement of the co-accused namely Ganpat Shankar Lagad recorded on 3rd July, 2011. Besides that apparently, there is no other cogent and incriminating evidence against the applicant. Moreover, it is reported that co-accused namely; Tushar Pare and Ganpat Lagad have been enlarged on bail by the learned Sessions Court. Hence, considering the accusations made against the applicant and the nature and gravity thereof, there is no necessity of custodial 3 cri3625.11 interrogation of the applicant for further progress in the investigation. Therefore, the present application deserves to be allowed, confirming the interim anticipatory bail granted to him, but on certain conditions. 5. In the result, the present application is allowed and interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant on 24th August, 2011 stands confirmed on the following conditions : (i) The applicant shall give attendance before the concerned Investigator, once in a week i.e. on every Tuesday between 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., till filing of the charge sheet, and shall cooperate in the investigation. (ii) The applicant shall not influence upon the witnesses and/or tamper with the evidence, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly. 6. However, it is made clear that the above observations are prima facie in nature, and same shall 4 cri3625.11 be restricted to this order only and shall not be used in any other matter while deciding it on merits. 7. The present Criminal Application stands disposed of finally. (SHRIHARI P. DAVARE) JUDGE ga s/cri3625.11
