P.C. :

1.

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP. 2.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that by an order dated 14th September, 2018 this Court (Coram: Smt. Anuja Prabhudessai, J.), granted bail to the present application, the applicant seeking to relax/ modify the condition imposed in the said order, para 8(b) directing the applicant to report to the concerned police station on first Monday of every month until further orders. Learned counsel further submits that the applicant has filed Criminal Writ Petition No. 11875 of 2019 for quashing 1/3

FIR and charge sheet. The Division Bench of this Court (Coram: Revati Mohite Dere & Prithviraj K. Chavan, JJ) by order dated 27th February, 2023 has directed to defer the framing of charge before the trial court till the next date and another Division Bench of this Court (Coram: Nitin W. Sambre & R. N. Laddha, JJ) by order dated 17th August, 2023 has continued the stay order till the next date. Learned counsel further submits that applicant has to attend the concerned police station on first Monday of every month. It is getting difficult for the applicant to attend the concerned police station. Hence, requested to modify/relax Condition No.8(b) in the said order.

5.

Learned APP for the respondent submits that the condition imposed by this Court is proper and may not be relaxed/modified. 6.

I have heard both learned counsel.

7.

Admittedly, the Division Bench of this Court has passed the order to defer the framing of charge till the next date and the said order is continued. No one knows when charges would be framed. The applicant is finding it difficult to attend the concerned police station once in a month on first Monday. Considering the above facts I pass following the order. 2/3

ORDER

i.

Application is partly allowed.

ii.

The applicant shall attend the concerned police station once in six months.

iii.

Criminal Interim Application is disposed of.
