IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.839 OF 2008 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.722 OF 2008 Raman Tillya Naik )..Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra )..Respondents ---- Mr.Amit Munde for the applicant. Mrs.A.A.Mane APP for the respondent/State. ---- Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 4.9.2008. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is already on bail in the trial Court and there is no history of abuse of bail. The applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 20(c) of the NDPS Act and has been sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for five years. On perusing the judgment, I find that this is a case where two bags containing 11 k.g. ganja each, were said to have been seized from the applicant. Neither the bags nor the ganja have been produced as muddemal property. Four samples have been taken. They were however, not sent to the Chemical Analyser for 16 days. Muddemal register has not been produced though admittedly, one was maintained. The record indicates that though four samples were : 2 : taken, only two samples were sent to Chemical Analyser. In my view, there is a good arguable case and in the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending the hearing of the appeal, the applicant may be continued on the same bail as in the trial Court subject to his furnishing fresh bond and further subject to the condition that he will report to Satana police station once a fortnight on every 1st and 3rd Mondays till the disposal of the appeal. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
