1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Application No. 361 of 2010 Sanjay v. 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 P. Ukey, Advocate for applicant Mr K.S. Dhote, APP for State Coram : A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 3rd March 2010 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for State. Learned counsel has relied upon Kamaljit Singh v. State of Punjab and anr reported in 2006 Cri.L.J. 4617 where the Apex Court ordered release of the appellant before it on bail in view of the fact that remaining two accused had been granted benefit of anticipatory bail. 2. This Court by order dated 10th February 2010 passed in Criminal Application No. 3588 of 2009 has by a detailed and well-reasoned order rejected plea of the present applicant for grant of anticipatory bail. It has been specifically observed that if anticipatory bail in such cases is granted, investigation may be nipped in bud at its preliminary stage. No purpose would be served in reproducing the the same arguments and reasoning adopted by this Court. 3. No other ground is set out to deviate from the earlier 2 order. Application is, therefore, rejected. It is open for the applicant to surrender to the custody of the Investigating Officer and he may apply for grant of regular bail in due course of time. Judge. Hsj
