CORAM

: SMT. BHARATI DANGRE, J.

DATED : 31ST JULY, 2021.

P.C:- 1.

Learned counsel for the Applicant seeks permission to withdraw the Application since the Applicant is already released on bail by the Sessions Court, during the pendency of the present Application.

2.

The Application is filed before this Court on 29/01/2020 and was kept pending without seeking circulation. In the meantime, the Applicant took a chance before the Sessions Court and, when he succeeded there, he seeks withdrawal of the present

2/3 18 BA-333.20.odt Application.

3.

On being inquired, learned counsel for the Applicant states that the Applicant appointed another counsel before the Sessions Court to argue the Application and he is also taken by surprise when he received the instructions to withdraw the present Application.

4.

Such conduct on part of the Applicant is deprecated and the Applicant cannot mislead this Court by keeping his Application pending here and, at the same time, taking chance before another Court. In order to discourage such type of tendencies amongst the accused persons, it is necessary to impose exemplary costs. 5.

The Application is, therefore, permitted to be withdrawn, but subject to costs of Rs.10,000/- being deposited with the High Court Legal Services Committee within a period of two weeks from today. It is made clear that failure to deposit the costs as directed, will entail in cancellation of bail by bringing the same to the notice of the Sessions Court. On such deposit being made, matter should be listed before this Court for compliance after two weeks.

5.

Stand over to 18/08/2021 for compliance.
