The applicant in both the applications is common and he is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.Nos.9 of 2008 and 11 of 2008 of Budhargad police station, Kolhapur. The said crimes have been registered against the applicant and two others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 285 read with 34 of IPC and 3(1)(d) & 7 of Essential commodities Act. 3. In C.R.No.9 of 2008, it is alleged that the applicant sold gas cylinder in the market at higher price and in C.R.No.11 of 2008 the allegation is that the applicant stored gas cylinder illegally. In these matters, the applicant was directed to report to the concerned police station for quite some time and cooperate with the investigation. He was also directed to produce all register including stock register and other documents/material before the police to verify whether every cylinder that was received by the applicant, is accounted. The applicant did report to the police station as per the orders issued by the court earlier and seems to have cooperated with the investigation. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant both the applications for anticipatory bail. Hence,the following order. . In the event of arrest in both the C.Rs, the applicant Sadashiv @ Baba Narayan Jambhale be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each, with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every first and third Saturday between 7 and 8 pm for a period of 90 days from today or till filing of the chargesheet, whichever is earlier. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order. . Both the applications are disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
