CORAM:

N.J.JAMADAR, J.

DATE :

22 APRIL 2024 P.C.

1.

Heard the learned Counsel for the parties.

2.

This is an application for pre-arrest bail in connection with C.R.No.31 of 2023 registered with Pusegaon Police Station for the offence punishable under Sections 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

3.

By an order dated 23 August 2023 this Court has granted interim bail. 4.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant, on instructions, submits that in terms of the undertaking given on behalf of the Applicant, the applicant has deposited a sum of Rs.3,49,000/- in this Court.

5.

In view of the aforesaid submission and the fact that the applicant had deposited a sum of Rs.3,49,000/- in this Court and having regard to the nature of the accusation, the custodial interrogation of the applicant does not seem warranted. I am, therefore, inclined to make the order of interim bail absolute. SSP 1/2
