The petitioner has challenged an order dated 15.4.2009 by which a non-bailable warrant has been issued against the petitioner. The petitioner, in the present writ petition, had gone upto the Supreme Court, challenging the orders by which he was directed to deposit a part of the amount of the cheque. The Supreme Court directed him to deposit atleast 25% of the compensation amount. It is against this backdrop the court below has issued non-bailable warrant against the applicant. I do not wish to enter into merits of the case. 2 2 2 3. The petitioner submits that he has already applied for the stay and cancellation of the non-bailable warrant. In view thereof I do not find any reason to entertain this writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of. It is open to the petitioner to pursue his application for stay and cancellation of non bailable warrant before the Sessions Court at Pune. The Sessions Court shall endeavour to dispose of that application expeditiously. It is also open to the applicant to seek interim protection during pendency of that application, if he so desires. The petition is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have examined merits of the case. (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
