Rameshbabu Sanjeev Naidu @ Sumersingh Nandsingh Boota v. The State Of Maharashtra

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.2560 OF 2018 Rameshbabu Sanjeev Naidu @ Sumersingh Nandsingh Boota ...Applicant V/s.

The State of Maharashtra

...Respondent

Ms. Mansha Khemka a/w. Ms. Bhagyashree Upadhyay i/b. Khemka & Associates, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. S.V. Gavand, APP for the Respondent/State. CORAM : A.M.BADAR J.

DATED : 13th FEBRUARY 2019 P.C. :

1.

This is second bail application of the applicant/accused in Crime No.12/2008 for the offences punishable under Sections 225, 260, 419, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 read with Section 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

2.

The learned Counsel for the applicant/accused argued that there are changes in circumstances after rejection of the first bail 1/3

application. Some of the accused who had availed loan and received financial benefits out of the subject crime are released on bail. She further argued that there is no progress of the trial. 3.

The learned APP opposed the application by contending that there are no changes in circumstances as release of the coaccused on bail has already been considered by this Court in the earlier order. Role attributed to the present applicant/accused is totally different.

4.

I have considered the submissions so advanced. The order rejecting the earlier bail application of the applicant/accused shows that the applicant/accused was having totally different role than the co-accused who were released on bail in the subject crime. He had forged the Power of Attorney by impersonating himself as Sumersingh Nandsingh Boota. Delay in conducting the trial can be taken care of by directing the learned trial Court to expedite the trial. Therefore, the order.

2/3

ORDER

(i) The application is rejected.

(ii)However, the learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial considering the fact that the applicant/accused is undergoing pre-trial detention.

(iii) The learned trial Court to make an endeavour to commence the trial and finish it within a period of one year from the date of receipt of writ of this order. (A.M.BADAR J.) 3/3
