Judgment
Mr.Sandesh D. Patil, advocate for the applicant Mr.K.V.Saste, APP for the State CORAM : V.C.DAGA, J. DATE : 11TH JULY, 2007 P.C.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the State.
Perused application.
The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with C.R.No.91 of 2007 of Shikrapur police station for the offence punishable under Sections 387, 447, 506, 509, 143 and 511 of the 2 Indian Penal Code. It appears that on 6th June, 2007 the learned Ad-hoc Additional Sessions Judge, Pune had granted anticipatory bail in favour of the applicant with two sureties in the like amount on the terms and conditions that the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. He was directed to attend Shikrapur police station on every Friday till further orders and make himself available for interrogation.
Now when the matter was heard I.O. pointed out that the applicant did not attend police station on 8th June, 2007 and 15th June, 2007. It was also pointed out that the applicant tried to pressurise the complainant and witnesses and did not obey interim order passed by this Court. The application was rejected by the order dated 22nd June, 2007. The applicant has now invoked jurisdiction of this Court for grant of anticipatory bail. There is no material placed on record to show that witnesses were sought to be 3 pressurised so far as their absence is concerned. However, considering nature of the offence he submits that one more opportunity may be granted to him.
