1 APPLN 5072.10.sxw JPP IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 5072 OF 2010 Mr. Anand Nemichand Jain. ... Applicant. V/s. The State of Maharashtra (At the instance of Bhayander Police Station, Bhayander, Dist. Thane). ... Respondent. Mr. R.D. Suryawanshi for the Applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP for the State. CORAM : A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED : 9th JUNE 2011. P.C. :- Heard Mr. Suryawanshi, learned Advocate for the Applicant and Mr. Saste, learned APP for the State. 2. The learned APP seeks an adjournment on the ground that the Investigation Officer is absent and that, therefore, he is unable to go on with the matter. I find that by an order dated 4th November 2010, interim anticipatory bail was granted to the Applicant on certain conditions. Thereafter, the matter was repeatedly being adjourned at the request of the 2 APPLN 5072.10.sxw Additional Public Prosecutor. The reasons for seeking adjournment appear to be the absence of the Investigating Officer. On 7th April 2011, again the matter was adjourned till today on the ground that the Investigating Officer was not present. Today also the Investigating Officer is absent and only P.C. No.1388 from Bhayander Police Station, who is not conversant with the facts of the case, is present. The interim protection granted to the Applicant was continued from time to time and no serious efforts were made by the Investigating Agency to oppose the Application. 3. Under these circumstances, I am not inclined to grant any further adjournment. 4. The interim order of anticipatory bail, passed on 4th November 2010, is confirmed. The Application stands disposed of in terms of the said order. (A.M. THIPSAY,J.)
