By the aforesaid communication, the Petitioner prays for his release on P.R.Bond. It further appears that criminal appeal challenging acquittal of the present Petitioner came to be filed in this court, in which leave came to be granted and this court directed the trial court to take action under section 390 of Cr. P.C. Accordingly, it appears that the Petitioner was produced before the Additional Sessions Judge, Ichalkaranji and the order of the Additional Sessions Judge, Ichalkaranji dated 2/11/2007 indicates that the 2 appln1685.10 accused applied for his release on bail and consequently was remanded in judicial custody.
