By this application, the applicant seeks bail in connection with C.R. No. 206 of 2009 dated 24th November 2009 registered at Vijapur Naka Police Station, Solapur, for an alleged offence punishable under sections 420, 409 read with 34 of the I.P.C. 2 2. The prosecution case is that one Micron Marketing Co. had floated an investment scheme for members of the public and the present applicant was working as a Chief Marketing Officer of the company. According to the prosecution, the scheme was fraudulent and several persons who have invested their money in the scheme have been duped of their money. The applicant is therefore being prosecuted. 3. The applicant was not the owner of the marketing company nor prima facie is a beneficiary of the money. Money was collected by Micron Marketing Co. and the applicant was only an employee of that company. 4. The applicant has been arrested on 25th November 2009 and is in custody since then. Taking into consideration the fact that the applicant is in custody for more than 2 months and that he was only an employee of Micron 3 Marketing Co., in my view, the applicant can be granted conditional bail. Hence, I pass the following order: ORDER The applicant be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond of Rs.15,000/­ with one surety of the like amount subject to the following conditions: (i) The applicant shall within 48 hours of his release inform in writing to the concerned police station his present residential address, telephone number and mobile number and shall inform to the police any change in the residential address, telephone number or the mobile number within 48 hours of the change. (ii) The applicant shall not obstruct the investigation. (iii) The applicant shall attend the concerned 4 police station as and when summoned for interrogation. (iv) Breach of any of the conditions would result in cancellation of bail. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
