1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET No. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD Criminal Application No. 3828 of 2010 (Vivek Ashruba Potbhare v. The State) Office Notes,Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Mr. Joydeep Chatterji, Advocate for the applicant Smt. S.D. Shelke, APP for the respondent / State PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in Sessions Case No. 2 of 2010, which is pending before the Additional Sessions Judge, Majalgaon, District Beed. The offence alleged against the applicant and others is under Section 395, 397 of the Indian Penal Code. The applicant was released on bail and was attending the Court initially. But, thereafter, he remained absent and a non-bailable-warrant was issued against him. Accordingly, he was taken in custody on 12th July, 2010. His application for bail was rejected recently on 14th September, 2010. The learned Judge refused the bail mainly on the ground that the applicant remained absent on so many occasions 2 earlier and had not explained his absence from the Court. This indeed was serious lapse on the part of the applicant. Nonetheless I am inclined to grant him bail mainly because he is in custody since more than two months. I hope he has learnt a lesson from this incident. 3. The applicant be released on executing P.R. Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with one surety in the like amount, on the condition that he shall remain present in person on each and every date in the Sessions Case No. 2 of 2010. In case, he does not remain present and if the learned Sessions Judge is required to issue warrant against him, the State is entitled to make an application to get this order cancelled. 4. Bail shall be furnished to the satisfaction of the lower Court. 5. Application stands disposed of. 23rd Sept., 10 ( A.V.NIRGUDE, J. ) SRM/ca/3828/10/23910
