1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1415 OF 2010 Pappu Mangalsingh Bhond ..Petitioner Vs. Dy. Commissioner of Police (Zone) Nashik City and Anr. ..Respondents ----- Mr.U.N. Tripathi for Petitioner Mr. A.S. Shitole -APP for State ------ CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 16TH JUNE, 2010 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The Petitioner is challenging the order of externment dated 22.1.2010, which was confirmed by the Appellate Court in appeal dated 2.4.2010. It is, inter alia, submitted that the impugned order is excessive inasmuch as though the show cause notice states that the Applicant has committed prejudicial activities prohibited by the concerned sections under the Bombay 1 Police Act, he has been externed from four districts i.e. Nashik Town, Nashik Rural, Ahmednagar and Thane Rural. 3. The Apex Court as well as this Court in end number of cases has observed that if the show cause notice does not refer to any prejudicial activities in other districts and externment order is not confined to the place where he has committed the said unlawful activities, in such event, such order of externment externing him from more than 3 to 4 years is beyond the scope of the show cause notice and, therefore, the said order has been struck down. In spite of number of directions given by this Court in several cases, the Externment Authority has continued to pass such orders. 4. Under these circumstances, the order of externment is liable to be quashed and set aside. The Writ Petition is allowed in terms of prayer clause 10(b). 5. Writ Petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. (V.M. KANADE J.)
