CORAM : HITEN S. VENEGAVKAR, J.
DATED : 04TH SEPTEMBER, 2026
PER COURT :
1. The present Application has been filed in a disposed of Bail
Application in which the Applicants were released on bail with the
following conditions: -
“I. …..
II. Applicants Shaikh Rauf s/o Shaikh Yusuf (BA/1467/2026),
Salim Qureshi s/o Shaikh Chand Qureshi (BA/1468/2026), Mohsin
Ayyub Qureshi and Mohammad Sameer s/o Mohd. Sharif
(BA/1410/2026), Mujeeb Ayyub Qureshi @ Mujahed Ayyub Qureshi
and Shaikh Qayyum Ayyub Qureshi (BA/1413/2026), Wahid Sandu
Patel (BA/1517/2026) and Kazi Kaleem Ahmed Kazi Mohd Sharif
(BA/1372/2026) be released on bail in connection with Crime No.
161 of 2026, on executing Personal Bond of Rs. 15,000/- each with
one surety each in the like amount, on the following conditions:
[a] The applicants shall not tamper prosecution evidence.
[b] The applicants shall attend the concerned police station thrice
in every week i.e. on every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and
maintain personal diary of their attendance till committal of case and
2 901APPLN35982026.odt
thereafter, shall regularly attend each and every effective date before
the trial Court.
III. …..”
2. The learned Advocate for the Applicants submits that the
Clause No. II [b] of the said order directs the Applicants to attend the
Police Station thrice in every week i.e. on every Monday, Wednesday and
Saturday till committal of the case and thereafter shall regularly attend
each and every effective date before the Trial Court.
3. The learned Advocate for the Applicants submits that, the
daughter of Applicant No. 2 is getting married on 9 th September, 2026.
The date of wedding and subsequent rituals are required to be
performed and hence, few dates prior to the date of marriage and after
the marriage, the Applicant may not be in a position to attend the Police
Station. He, therefore, prefers this Application seeking relaxation of the
said condition from attending the Police Station on 7 th September, 2026,
9th September, 2026 and 12th September, 2026.
4. When the matter was mentioned, the request was made to
the learned APP to obtain the report from the concerned Police Station
as to whether they have any objection for granting such relaxation. The
report dated 03.09.2026 signed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police,
City Division, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, has been submitted by the
learned Additional Public Prosecutor, in which, the Officer has
3 901APPLN35982026.odt
mentioned ‘no objection’ for granting relaxation on 7 th September, 2026
and 9th September, 2026.
5. Taking into consideration the averments made in the
Application as well as the Report dated 3 rd September, 2026 filed by the
Prosecution, I am inclined to allow this Application and grant relaxation
to the Applicants. Hence, the following order:-
ORDER
[i] The Application stands allowed.
[ii] The condition of attending Jinsi Police Station, Chhatrapati
Sambhajinagar, on 7th September, 2026 and 9th September,
2026 and 12th September, 2026 imposed by order dated 3rd
August, 2026 in Bail Application No. 1413 of 2026 stands
temporarily relaxed.
[iii] The Condition No. II[b] to the extent of the Applicants will
resume post 12th September, 2026 and the Applicants
should effect their attendance from Monday i.e. 14 th
September, 2026, as per the order.
[iv] The Application stands disposed of.
