P.C.:

1.

Not on Board. Mentioned. Taken on production Board. 2.

Heard Mr. Dalmia, learned Advocate for Applicant and Mr. Dedhia, learned APP for Respondent No.1 - State. 3.

Present Interim Application is moved urgently by the Advocate for Applicant. Permission to move the Application has been granted by the Court last evening when it was mentioned to the Court by placing before the Court examination time table dated 17.03.2025 with respect to impending examination of the Applicant ensuing from 26.03.2025 and upto 29.03.2025.

4.

Learned Advocate for Applicant informed the Court that he has received instructions from the parents of the Applicant who is the

student that there is a possibility that the examination might get postponed by one week. Be that as it may, today as per the examination time table issued by In-charge, Director of School of International Relations & Strategic Studies (SIRSS), University of Mumbai the examination dates are stated therein from 26.03.2025 to 29.03.2025.

5.

Considering the fact that Applicant is a young offender and equally a student pursuing higher education in Mass Media in M.A. from the School of International Relations & strategic Studies (SIRSS), University of Mumbai and is having deep roots in the Society equally as also his family and no previous criminal antecedents, Court is inclined to help him to undertake his examination by granting him interim bail so that his academic year is not wasted.

6.

However because of the difficulty expressed by the learned Advocate for Applicant today before the Court about the date of the examination being not finalised, I wish to give certain directions today for compliance and implementation for further directions to be passed for grant of interim bail to the Applicant later. The following two directions are therefore given by the Court for compliance:- (i) Applicant is incarcerated in Thane Central Prison. The Jailor / In-charge / Superintendent of the Thane Central Prison, Thane is directed to receive the books of

five subjects, namely (i) International Organisation and International Law; (ii) Strategy, Security and Inter-State Relations; (iii) India In Global Politics; (iv) Indian Naval Mutiny and (v) Concept of Maritime Power In National Security which are the five subjects in which Applicant is going to appear in the final examination from the parents of the Applicant and give the said books to Applicant today itself. This order is passed to enable the Applicant to continue his study and to get prepared for his final examination. The idea of passing this order is to ensure that the academic year of Applicant is not wasted due to his incarceration in prison.

(ii) The In-charge, Director of the School of International Relations & Strategic Studies (SIRSS), University of Mumbai is directed by this Court to inform the final date of the examination programme for MA International Relations and Strategic Studies (Semester II) Revised in respect of the aforementioned 5 papers which the Applicant shall be giving. His name and enrollment number 2023034110001414 as per the examination form issued by the University of Mumbai are appended at page No.9 of the Application.

7.

Liberty to the Advocate and Applicant's parents to move this Court immediately after the final dates are released to enable this Court to consider the plea of grant of interim bail to the Applicant for undertaking his final examination.

8.

List the Bail Application on Board on 24th March, 2025 for passing further orders.
