State of Maharashtra ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr S.W. Sambre, Adv for applicant Ms R. Wasnik, APP for State Coram: A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 16th Oct 2009 1. Heard learned counsel for applicant and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for State. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the offences are triable by the Magistrate and applicant is in jail since 29.8.2009 and no reply has been filed by the respondent in order to oppose the application. According to learned APP, since Investigating Officer was busy in election duty, reply could not be filed. To my mind, this cannot be a ground to avoid filing of reply. 2. Considering nature of accusations made against applicant, I am inclined to order his release on bail. Hence the following order. 3. Applicant be released on bail in Crime No. 247/09 registered with Police Station, Nandanvan, Nagpur under Sections 467, 468, 471 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, upon his furnishing PR Bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. 2 Applicant shall not try to tamper with prosecution evidence in any manner and he shall attend Investigating Officer as and when called till charge- sheet is filed. Applicant shall leave his permanent address along with telephone/cell phone number, if any, with the Investigating Officer and shall communicate change therein, if any, in future.
