1 WP NO.309/01 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.309 OF 2001 The State of Maharashtra .. Appellant. Vs. Sitaram Ramdev Yadav .. Respondent. Mrs.P.P.Shinde APP for the State. CORAM : B.H.MARLAPALLE & ANOOP V.MOHTA, JJ. DATED : 20TH JULY, 2010. P.C. Heard the learned APP for the State. 2. We have noted with concern that though the State has filed this appeal against the order of acquittal, its officers have done precious little, to serve the notice to the accused and despite warrants having been issued, the reports filed from time to time by the Dharavi police station indicate that the warrants could not be executed solely on the ground that the present whereabouts of the accused are not known. 3. The order of acquittal passed in Sessions Case No.898 of 1986 indicates that the accused was working as Peon in Dayanand Balak Evam Balika Vidyalaya, Matunga, Mumbai and the said employer may have the permanent address of the accused. Admittedly, the Police Inspector of Dharavi police station did not even think of approaching this institution/society for obtaining the permanent address of the accused as may be available in its record. Mrs.Shinde, the learned APP now states that such steps will be taken and the warrant will be S 2 WP NO.309/01 executed. She, therefore, prays for further time of two weeks. 4. Time granted and it is made clear that if the warrant is not executed within this extended period of two weeks this appeal will stand dismissed for non prosecution without reference to the court. 5. Stand over for two weeks. (ANOOP.V.MOHTA,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
