AJN 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.1010 OF 2009 Narayan Sewakram Chandnani. ... Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. S.G. Rajput for the petitioner. Mr. A.S. Gadkari, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & R.G. KETKAR, JJ. DATED : 7TH MAY, 2009. P.C.:- The petitioner is aged about 85 years. He is present in the court. The petitioner has challenged the chapter proceedings initiated against him by respondent 3. Learned A.P.P. has strenuously opposed the prayer for quashing of the chapter proceedings. It is not possible for us to quash the chapter proceedings. We make it clear that the chapter proceedings will go on. Looking to the age of the petitioner, learned A.P.P. submitted AJN 2 that at the most, his presence may be dispensed with. Hence the petitioner’s presence is dispensed with. However, on any occasion, if his presence is found necessary, he shall keep himself present. The petitioner has already filed reply to the show cause notice. Needless to say that that reply will be considered independently and in accordance with law. The petition is disposed of. [SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [R.G. KETKAR, J.]
