Chokasi informed that as per his instruction, they were brought in
that office.
Thereafter, informant showed Rubies with him to
applicant No.3 Vinkal Shah. Applicant No.3 Vinkal Shah showed
diamond in exchange of said Rubies. However, informant did not
like diamond of applicant No.3 Vinkal Shah. Further, said applicant

Chokasi, applicant No.2 Khetaram Devasi and applicant No.1
Suresh Borad were present. In their presence, applicant No.3 Vinkal
Shah showed his willingness to purchase Rubies of the informant.
Meanwhile, other accused kept the informant busy in talking and
systematically packet with the Rubies was exchanged with the
packet of duplicate Rubies. Thereafter, informant went to Royal
Casal Hotel at August Kranti Maidan. Mumbai. After taking meal,
he checked the packet and noticed that Rubies were exchanged and
duplicate Rubies were kept in the packet. Accordingly, he lodged
FIR. Said Rubies are recovered from applicant No.3 Vinkal Shah.

muddemal is already recovered. Maximum punishment prescribed

exchanged packet of Rubies with the duplicate Rubies and that is
matter of trial. It is requested to allow the application.

After hearing both the sides, I have gone through

2022 was rejected on 29/03/2022, observing that investigation is
in progress. Considering the nature of punishment and all the
offences are triable by the Magistrate’s Court, I am inclined to allow
the application. Hence, I pass following order.
