Rajkot vide C.R No. I-96 of 2008 for the offences punishable under Sections 405, 406, 409, 420, 465, 467, 471, 477(1), 120(B) and 114 of IPC and Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. This Court vide order dated 10.5.2011 passed in Criminal Misc.

It is reported that he is attending the Court of Special Judge before whom the trial is pending and the trial is also now ripe for hearing. In this view of the matter, the application deserves to be accepted and the same is hereby allowed. Condition No.4 imposed by this Court in Criminal Misc.

All other conditions shall remain as the same and the accused applicant shall abide the same scrupulously. Rule is made absolute. Direct service permitted.
