Application for bail
ORAL ORDER
1.

Present application is filed by the applicant u/s. 439 of
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for bail in CR No.01 of 2017
registered with A.C.B. Mumbai in Remand Application No.42 of
2017.
2.

Facts which gave rise in filing this application, in short,
are as under:н
2
2.

Applicant is arrested in connection with the said
offence for the offences punishable u/s. 7,13(1)(d) r/w 13(2) of
The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 which was registered on
the basis of complaint lodged by one Ganesh Patel on 12/01/2017.
Since then he was in police custody and now he is in judicial
custody and therefore he has filed this application on the following
grounds:н
GROUNDS
That he has not committed any offence as alleged,
he is permanent resident of Mumbai, he is falsely
implicated in the case, he is a public servant, he has no
criminal antecedents, he is ready and willing to coн
operate with the investigating machinery, etc.,.
3.

State has filed say and raised objection to allow this
application on the ground that investigation is at preliminary stage
and applicant had demanded Rs.1.50 lacs and was arrested while
accepting the said amount and there is ample material against him.
4.

Following points arise for my determination.
POINTS
5.
follows:н
1.

Is applicant entitled for bail as sought for?

2.

What order?

My findings thereon with reasons thereto are as
3
FINDINGS
1.

In the affirmative.

2.

As per final order.

REASONS
6.

Heard Ld. Advocate Mr.Kandalkar for the applicant
and Ld. APP Mr.Lade for the State.
Point No.1
7.

From the submissions it is gathered that custodial
interrogation is over and the recovery is complete. Applicant has
shown his ready and willingness to help the investigating
machinery in further investigation. Moreover, he has raised the
ground that he has his family to look after and he is a public
servant.
8.

No doubt the grievance is raised that investigation is at
preliminary stage but considering the facts that custodial
interrogation is over and applicant has shown his ready and
willingness to help the investigation machinery and when
investigating officer Mr.Patil and Ld. APP Mr.Lade
frankly
submitted to impose condition of attendance, I hold that it would
be proper to consider the relief as sought for by imposing stringent
conditions. Hence, I answer point No.1 in the affirmative and
proceed to pass the following order:н
ORDER
1.

Application is allowed.

4
2.

Applicant be enlarged on Bail on executing
P.R.Bond of Rs.25,000/н (Rs.twenty five
thousand only)
with one or more solvent
sureties in the like amount subject to the
conditions that
(i).

Applicant should remain present before
the investigating officer at ACB office,
Mumbai on every Tuesday between 11.00
a.m. and 2.00 p.m. till filing of the
chargesheet.

(ii).

Applicant should not pressurize
the witnesses and tamper with the
evidence.

(iii). Applicant should not leave Mumbai
without prior permission of the Court.
