---- Petitioner

Versus

State of Chhattisgarh through the Anti Corruption Bureau, Raipur, Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For Petitioner :

Shri B. P. Sharma, Advocate For Respondent/State :

Shri Anupam Dubey, Dy. G.A.

Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order On Board 27/06/2016 The present petition under Section 482 CrPC has been preferred by the petitioner seeking for extension of temporary bail period granted by this Court in M.Cr.C. No. 5933 of 2015 dated 02.11.2015. 2.

Counsel for the applicant submits that in M.Cr.C. No.5933/15 this Court had granted bail to the petitioner for a limited period taking into consideration his health condition. However, since the treatment of the petitioner continued even beyond the period prescribed the bail order, he moved the application under Section 482 CrPC seeking for extension of time of temporary bail granted to him on 02.11.2015 which was initially granted on 03.03.2016 and since then the petitioner has been granted temporary bail periodically taking into consideration his medical condition. 3.

Now, counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that subsequently, the petitioner has moved an application for regular bail which is registered as M.Cr.C. No.2056/16 and which has already been

listed before the Bench having the roster. Therefore, counsel for the petitioner prays that the present Cr.M.P. may be disposed of with an extension of the temporary bail period till the regular bail application is decided by the Regular Bench.

4.

State counsel though does not strongly oppose the said prayer made by the counsel for the petitioner but submits that there is a report of the team of doctors who had medically examined the petitioner stating that the petitioner can be taken into custody and he can be given treatment in the jail, to which the counsel for the petitioner has raised an objection. 5.

Having considered the submissions put forth by the counsel for the parties, this Court is of the opinion that now the present petition has become of only academic interest. However, since 02.11.2015 the petitioner is enjoying the advantage of the temporary bail on medical ground, let the said temporary bail continue for a limited period of only seven days more from today.

6.

If the counsel for the petitioner wants any further extension, he shall make appropriate mention in the Court having the regular roster in the regular bail application.

7.

With the aforesaid observation, the present Cr.M.P. stands disposed of.
