UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
The petitioner, by way of present special leave petition, has preferred a prayer for anticipatory bail
Learned counsel for the respondent-State has vehemently opposed this prayer. Taking into consideration the fact that since the interim protection was granted to the petitioner on 09.09.2022 that there is no allegation that he is misusing the liberty granted to him and he has largely been attending the investigation, as and when directed by the Investigating Officer, we are inclined to allow the prayer for anticipatory bail.
The petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with FIR No. 744 of 2021 registered at Tulinj Police Station, Mira Bhayader, Vasai-Virar, subject to executing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand Only) with one or two sureties of the like amount.
Needless to state that the condition of reporting is modified to the extent that the petitioner would report to the Investigating Officer, as and when called upon to do so.
The special leave petition is disposed of accordingly.
Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of.
