1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1174 OF 2009 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 269 OF 2009 Ganesh Jayling Gunjawane. .. Petitioner. vs. State of Maharashtra & Anr. .. Respondents. Mr. R.N. Jawal for the petitioner. Mr. A.S. Gadkari, APP., for the Respondent/State. CORAM : J. N. PATEL & A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATE : 13TH NOVEMBER, 2009 P.C. : Later on Mr. Jawal, Advocate, appears for the petitioner. The applicant is the complainant who has deposited a sum of Rs. 10 lacs with the police. 2. The applicant is the original complainant whose son was 2 kidnapped for ransom and, therefore, he was required to deposit a sum of Rs. 10 lacs with the police. The trial Court has ordered that the amount be returned to the complainant after the period of appeal is over. The appeal is pending in this Court. We do not require the sum of Rs. 10 lacs for the purpose of hearing of the appeal. On the basis of the admitted facts that when the amount of ransom was being handed over to the appellant-accused, the police caught them and the amount was seized. We, therefore, direct the trial Court to release the amount of Rs. 10 lacs along with the interest accrued thereon to the applicant-complainant without insisting for any surety. The application is disposed of accordingly. ( J. N. PATEL, J.) ( A. A. SAYED, J.)
