Heard both sides.

By order dated 13th July, 2015 passed by this Court in Criminal Application No. 2417/2015, the present applicant was directed to be released on bail in Crime No. I-40/2015, registered with Kotwali Police Station, Ahmednagar, District Ahmednagar for the offences punishable under section 417, 420, 408, 409 of the Indian Penal Code. Vide the said order, a condition was imposed that the present applicant shall attend the investigating officer once in a week on every Sunday till the chargesheet is filed.
3.
Mr. A.S. Sawant, learned counsel for the applicant, submitted that since there are 54 accused involved in the offence, the chargesheet is not yet filed by the investigating officer though the anticipatory bail was granted to the applicant on 13th July, 2015. The applicant is regularly attending the investigating officer once in a week.
In the circumstances, he submitted that since it would take long time for filing of the chargesheet and since the applicant is facing difficulty in attending the police station on every Sunday, the said condition may be relaxed.

Learned A.P.P. opposed the application. He submitted that the report received from the investigating officer would show that as per the investigating officer, the applicant is not cooperating in investigation.
5.
Taking into consideration all the facts on record, the application is allowed. The order dated 13th July, 2015, passed by this Court in Criminal Application No. 2417/2015, directing the present applicant to attend the investigating officer once in a week, is hereby
revoked. The application accordingly stands disposed of.
