The Bombay HC on Wednesday cancelled the bail given to City Limouzines chairman SayedMasoodJamadar in a case registered against him at the Nagpada police station. The HC observed that just because the Supreme Court showed indulgence to Jamadar earlier, it cannot be granted again and again.
Justice A M Thipsay heard a plea filed by City Group Investors Association and the state urging the court to cancel Jamadar's bail. Jamadar was granted bail in December 2, 2011, by the sessions court on a condition that he attend the Nagpada police station once a week and chalk out a repayment plan.
Association's advocate Mubin Solkar and assistant public prosecutor Shilpa Gajare-Dhumal said Jamadar had attended the police station only four times of 46 Saturdays till he was arrested in another case in on December 14, 2012 by the Enforcement Directorate on charges of money laundering. On To a query why his bail should be cancelled, Solkar said if released, Jamadar will not be available for trial. There are 50 cases pending against Jamadar all over the country.
Jamadar's senior counsel Mahesh Jethmalani said the breach has not caused any prejudice to the victims or the state. He pointed out that in a similar case involving Jamadar, the SC had not found it fit to cancel his bail for non-compliance of order to attend police station once a week.
Since a particular view has been taken by the Supreme Court in a similar case, it would be proper for this court to take a similar stand,'' said Jethmalani.
The HC said the SC has granted Jamadar indulgence with the object that he should continue his efforts for repayment of investors under the supervision of the court. It is not possible to accept that once indulgence has been given, again and again indulgence should be shown in this matter,'' said Justice Thipsay, adding that there is no explanation given for breach of the order to attend the police station.
The judge noted that no steps were taken by Jamadar to repay investors and allowed the petitions for cancelling his bail.
