We need not repeat the circumstances under which this application has been filed save and except to state that initially the Senior Inspector of Police attached to the Kandivli Traffic Division, Mumbai had filed an affidavit opposing the application on the ground that the applicant’s involvement was suspected in the murder of Pradip Jain and Ajit Deewani along with the gang of Abu Salem who has been under interrogation for the last few months after his extradition from Portugal. However, on oral instructions from Mr.P.R.Rane, ACP, Crime Branch who is present before the Court states through the learned APP that the applicant’s interrogation in the cases involving Abu Salem have already been completed and, therefore, for the coming few months the applicant may not be required for interrogation. .
