DATE : 20th JUNE, 2019 P.C. :
1.
Heard learned Counsel for the parties.
2.
By these applications, the applicants seek pre-arrest bail in
2/4 connection with C.R. No.215 of 2019 registered with the Powai Police Station, Mumbai, for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 306 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3.
Learned Counsel for the applicants submits that taking the prosecution case as it stands, no offence as alleged under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code is disclosed, against either of the applicants. On the last date i.e. 10th June, 2019 and 12th June, 2019, the applicants were granted interim protection and were directed to report to the Investigating Officer of the concerned Police Station on 18th June, 2019. Accordingly, the applicants have reported to the Investigating Officer of the concerned Police Station.
4.
Perused the papers. The applicants are members of Aman Ekta Society. It appears that the applicants along with other members of Aman Ekta Society, lodged a complaint as against Mohammed Jamal Yusuf Shaikh (deceased), for having committed misappropriation of the society funds. Pursuant to the said complaint made by the applicant along with other members of the society, the MMRDA issued a notice dated 2nd April,
3/4 2019 to Mohammed Jamal Yusuf Shaikh (deceased), directing him to remain present before them on 16th April, 2019. On 18th April, 2019, Mohammed Jamal Yusuf Shaikh committed suicide, pursuant to which the aforesaid complaint came to be lodged.
5.
Prima facie, taking the prosecution case as it stands, it is doubtful whether an offence under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code is made out, as against the applicants. Admittedly, there is no suicide note left by the deceased.
6.
Considering the aforesaid, the interim orders dated 10th June, 2019 and 12th June, 2019, are confirmed. The applications are accordingly allowed and the applicants are granted pre-arrest bail on the following terms and conditions :
ORDER
(i) In the event of the arrest, the applicants be enlarged on bail on executing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one or two sureties in the like amount ;
4/4 (ii) The applicants shall not contact the complainant, witnesses or any person concerned with the case.
(iii) The applicants shall co-operate in the conduct of the trial. 7.
The Applications are allowed in the aforesaid terms and are accordingly disposed of.
8.
It is made clear, that the observations made herein are prima facie and are confined to the aforesaid applications. 9.
All concerned to act on the authenticated copy of this order. REVATI MOHITE DERE, J.
