Mardikar, Advocate for Applicant. Mrs. B.P.Maldhure, A.P.P. for Respondent/State. CORAM : M.N.GILANI, J. DATE : DECEMBER 08, 2011. The applicant is seeking directions to release him on bail in the event of his arrest in Crime No.3022 of 2011, registered with Police Station, Channi, Tahsil : Patur, District : Akola for the offence punishable under Sections 3 and 7 of the Essential Commodities Act. On 17.03.2011 the premises owned by one Babbushah Kalandar Shah at village Sasti, within the jurisdiction of Police Station, Channi, were raided. About 66 quintals rice was found in his possession. It is alleged that this was meant for distributing through fair price shops. On inquiry with said Babbushah, it was learnt that the stock of rice was procured from one Gajanan Dhage, resident of Wadgaon and it was transported in a Tempo. Statement of Gajanan Dhage is not consistent about source of commodity of rice. There are statements of coolies, according to whom, this rice was transported from the godown of the present applicant to the godown of Babbushah. The fact remains that this Court (Coram : U.V. Bakre, J) on 12.09.2011 granted interim anticipatory bail to the applicant with direction to attend Police Station as and 2 when called. Thereafter this Court (Coram : U.V.Bakre, J) on 10.10.2011 and 19.10.2011 continued the interim bail. It is submitted that thereafter all the accused persons have been released on bail. The applicant, who runs a fair price shop, was found in possession of 680 bags (each weighing 50 kgs.) in his possession. Initially, the entire stock of 680 bags was seized and thereafter was released on 27.08.2011. In that light of the matter and considering the fact that this Court (Coram : U.V. Bakre, J) granted interim bail on 12.09.2011 and continued till date and the fact that all the co-accused have been released on bail and considering the first hand version that it was brought from one Dhage and the said Dhage has given some different account, ad-interim bail dated 12.09.2011 is confirmed.
