DATE : 15th DECEMBER, 2022 P.C. :

1. The Applicant has preferred Criminal Appeal No.487 of 2022 against her conviction and sentence recorded in Sessions Case No.605 of 2011 alongwith Sessions Case No.635 of 2012 before learned Additional Sessions Judge, Greater Bombay. In Interim Application No.1333 of 2022 in Criminal Appeal No.487 of 2022 this Court (Coram: A. S. Gadkari, J.) had granted bail to the Applicant. She was permitted to furnish cash bail of Rs.25,000/- Shabnoor

6.Ia-3701-22 in Apeal-487-22.odt for a period of 12 weeks. The main operative part of that order permitted her to furnish one or two solvent sureties in that like amount on payment of fine, if not already paid.

2. Learned counsel for the Applicant submitted that the Applicant is a 68 year old widow and there is no one to look after her. She was not in a position to procure surety. However, with great efforts, she is now been able to get surety.

3. Considering these submissions, the time to furnish surety is extended by a period of 12 weeks from today. It is made clear that all the conditions recorded in the order dated 20.06.2022 passed in Interim Application No.1333 of 2022 in Criminal Appeal No.487 of 2022 including directions regarding payment of fine are maintained.

4. With these observations, the Application is disposed of. (SARANG V. KOTWAL, J.)
