P.C.: Heard Mr. Tangsali, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Shitole, APP for the State. 2. The petition arises out of the proceedings under Section 56(1)(a) of the Bombay Police Act, 1951. By the order impugned, the petitioner is externed for a period of six months from Thane, Greater Mumbai, Mumbai Suburbs, Navi Mumbai and Raigad District. The said order is passed after giving show cause notice and granting an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. The competent authority also relied upon in-camera statements of the witnesses and found that case under Section 56(1) (a) of the Bombay Police Act, 1951 is made out. This order of the competent authority is confirmed by the appellate court. I do not find any reason so as to enable me to interfere with the impugned order in writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
