1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3761 OF 2009 Yogesh Ramniklal Soni ........ Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ........Respondent. Ms. Anjali Patil adv. for the Applicant Mr. Y. M. Nakhwa APP. for the Respondent/State. CORAM: A. P DESHPANDE, J. DATED : 27th August, 2009. P. C.: 1. By the present application, the applicant is seeking reduction of the amount of bail. It is pointed out that by order dated 13-5-2009 the applicant has been granted bail on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs. One lac with solvent surety in the like amount. The applicant despite grant of bail on 13-5-2009 is still in jail as he is unable to furnish the surety as directed. In the result, a prayer is made to reduce the amount from Rs. One lac to Rs. 50,000/- and instead of one solvent surety, permission is sought to furnish 2/3 solvent local sureties. The prayer appears to be just and fair. It appears that the applicant is not in a financial position to furnish the bail as ordered and hence continues to be in custody, though directed to be released on bail 2 in May 2009. In the result the bail amount is reduced from Rs. One lac to Rs. 50,000/- with 2/3 solvent local sureties in the like amount. All other conditions imposed by order dated 13-5-2009 by the Sessions Court shall continue to operate. Application is disposed of. (A. P. Deshpande, J.)
