Mr. Rajiv Sakpal, PI attached to Andheri Police Station is present in the court. … CORAM : SMT. BHARATI DANGRE, J. DATED : 13TH JUNE, 2022. P.C.:- C.R. No.372 of 2022 came to be registered with Andheri Police Station on 23/04/2022, pursuant to a raid conducted in Samit Punjab Restaurant & Bar, Bengali Chawl, Koldongri, Sahara Road, Andheri (East), Mumbai. The incident resulted in invoking Sections 308, 294, 114 and Section 34 of the IPC read with Sections 3, 8(1), (2), (4) and 33 (R) of the Maharashtra Act, 2016. The said C.R. arraign 22 persons as accused and the applicant came to be arraigned as accused No.19. Relying upon the remand report, learned counsel would submit that the Manager as well as the cashier of the concerned Bar, in which the raid was conducted, are arrested. One Shridhar Shetty (accused No.23) is the owner of the Bar, who has been released on bail in an anticipatory bail application. On the last date of hearing, learned counsel for the applicant advanced an argument that the applicant is the Manager in one Hotel Mansa Bar & Restaurant, Andheri and he has been arraigned as an accused, without any connection with the raid conducted in Samit Punjab Restaurant & Bar. Learned A.P.P. was, therefore, asked to ascertain the factual position. Learned A.P.P. states that the FIR makes a reference to Kiran Pujari and the applicant is Kiran Sunder Anchan and learned A.P.P. is unable to point out any positive material to demonstrate that the person named in the FIR is the applicant. In any case, when specifically asked as to what is the connection with the owner/Manager of the other Bars, operating within the jurisdiction of Andheri Police Station and why all of them are arraigned as accused, no response is coming forward from the side of the prosecution. In the absence of any involvement of the applicant in the raid, which was conducted in Samit Punjab Restaurant & Bar and since the applicant was neither the owner nor employed in the said Bar and, in fact, the owner of the Samit Punjab Restaurant & Bar is informed to have been granted protection, there is no reason why the same protection cannot be extended to the present applicant. Hence, the following order: ORDER (a) In the event of arrest, the applicant Kiran Sunder Anchan shall be temporarily released on bail in C.R. No.372 of 2022 registered with Andheri Police Station, District Mumbai, on executing P.R. bond to the extent of Rs.25,000**/** and furnishing one or two sureties of the like amount. (b) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with facts of case and shall not tamper with prosecution evidence. (c) The applicant shall report to the Andheri Police Station from 20/06/2022 to 22/06/2022 between 3.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m. and, thereafter, as and when directed.
