1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1146 OF 2010 Awaraj Gurdal Chavan ..Applicant V/s The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. ..... Mr.Swapnil S. Patil, Advocate for applicant. Mr.K.S. Patil, APP for respondent. ..... (CORAM : SHRIHARI P. DAVARE,J.) DATE : 7th April, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard Mr.Swapnil S. Patil, learned Counsel for applicant and Mr.K.S. Patil, learned A.P.P. for respondent. 2. This is an application preferred by applicant seeking anticipatory bail apprehending his arrest in connection with C.R. No.Zone-5/2010, registered with Pahur Police Station, Dist.Jalgaon for the offence punishable under Sections 420 r/w Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2 3. At the outset, it appears that applicant preferred application for anticipatory bail before learned Court of Sessions and same was rejected by learned Adhoc Additional Sessions Judge, Jalgaon on 12th March, 2010. 4. It appears that offence has been registered on the complaint lodged by one Dheersingh Mansingh Pawar on 20th February, 2010 alleging that applicant and co- accused obtained total amount of Rs.1,00,000/- from complainant by deceitful means representing him to make his amount double by black magic, but when the complainant demanded his amount back, applicant and co-accused refused to give him any amount. 5. On perusal of the investigation papers, it appears that statements of witnesses have been recorded, which apparently involve applicant in the alleged crime. Moreover, it also appears that the statements of other persons who were cheated in similar manner by applicant have also been recorded. Hence, apparently, it appears that there is no false implication of 3 applicant and custodial interrogation of applicant is necessary for further progress in investigation in proper perspective. 6. In the result, the present application being sans merit, stands dismissed. (SHRIHARI P. DAVARE) JUDGE gas/cri1146.10
