The grounds stated in the application are not sufficient to grant interim bail or transit bail. The copy of the FIR can very well be applied through the jail. The application reveals that the family members of the applicant are well aware of registration of the said crime and have been trying to engage a lawyer to represent and defend the applicant in the said crime. The applicant can also very well convey the name of the advocate of his choice to his family members.

4.

The application has no merits and is dismissed. ( ANUJA PRABHUDESSAI, J. )
