1 pdp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2713 OF 2008 GKW Ltd. .. Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra and ors. .. Respondents Mr. C.U. Singh, Sr. Advocate with Ms. Geetanjali Prabhu, Ms. Pooja Karadia and Ms. Khushboo Tatia i/by Vigil Juris for petitioner. Mr. P.A. Pol, In-charge P.P. for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, JJ. August 05, 2009. P.C. We have heard Mr. C.U. Singh the learned Senior Counsel with Ms. Prabhu for the petitioner. Mr. Pol, the In-charge Public Prosecutor appears for the State. We have perused the affidavit-in-reply filed by Mr. Prakash Jadhav, Senior P.I. attached to Bhandup Police Station, L.B.S. Marg, Bhadup (W), Mumbai. We have also seen that from 19th October, 2008 onwards the police have increased the vigilence and have provided support to the petitioner-company whose factory is closed for last more than three years and despite the private security services having been engaged, the miscreants are robbing some machinery or spare parts from the premises. Mr. Pol also has shown us the record which indicates that about six CRs have been registered at the complaint of the petitioner-company and two charge-sheets have already been filed 2 before the competent court, on completion of investigation. Mr. Singh has invited our attention to the letter dated 10th/13th October, 2008 addressed by the Company to the Sr.P.I., Bhandup Police Station, wherein the names of certain individuals, who are supposed to be the gang leaders or scrap dealers have been set out and it is alleged that the police have not taken any steps against those persons. We have been assured by Mr. Pol that all the persons named in the letters written by the company to the police station will be interrogated, further investigation will be carried out and charge-sheets/ supplementary charge-sheets will be filed before the competent court in due course of time. It is fairly conceded by the petitioner-company that from November/December 2008 onwards it has received due cooperation from the police and as at present the vigilence is at a satisfactory level. We hope the company will also take sufficient measures to protect its property by engaging private security services in adequate numbers. At the same time, we expect the IO to complete the investigation expeditiously and file the report/charge-sheet at the earliest possible. Petition is disposed off in terms of the above directions.
