Vs. Suresh Nalavade PSI & Ors. ..Respondents. Advocate for the Applicant - absent. Mr V.B. Konde Deshmukh, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.R. JOSHI,JJ. A.R. JOSHI,JJ. A.R. JOSHI,JJ. DATED : 4TH MARCH, 2009. DATED : 4TH MARCH, 2009. DATED : 4TH MARCH, 2009. P.C.:- P.C.:- P.C.:- 1. Nobody appears for the applicant. Grievance of the applicant was that he was detained by the police without a reason and was handcuffed. He was kept in custody inspite of an order passed by the Sessions Court, Pune on 24.10.1989. The applicant is not present. The applicant was allegedly kept in detention wrongfully in the year 1989. He approached this Court in October,1990. 2. Almost, 19 years have passed. Counter affidavits were filed. One of the counter-affidavits has been filed by Shri Milind Mahadev Mule, Police Constable, attached to D.N. Nagar Police Station, Mumbai. He has admitted that the applicant had been granted anticipatory bail but curiously he has stated that on his arrest the petitioner had not shown him anticipatory bail order. This is not believable and also not acceptable. If the Petitioner was in possession of bail order why he should have not shown to the police officer at the time of arrest. 3. Now, it is too late to initiate any proceeding against Shri Mule for contempt. But if he is still in service a departmental inquiry shall be instituted against him and he shall be suitably punished for the misconduct. 4. This order shall be communicated to the Director General of Police because he will be in a position to know whether such a person is in service and if he is in service where he is posted. It is also pointed out that nobody appears for the respondents other than State today, although A.P.P. appears for the State of Maharashtra. 5. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (A.R.JOSHI,J.) (BILAL NAZKI,J.) (BILAL NAZKI,J.) (BILAL NAZKI,J.)
