CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 18/2/08 PC: This criminal application is filed by the applicant against whom an order of externment has been passed under section 56 of the Bombay Police Act by respondent No.1 externing the applicant from the area of Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban and Thane district. The externment order has assumed finality on account of dismissal of the appeal and the writ petition. It is stated in the application that the marriage of the brother-in-law of the applicant is scheduled to be held on 21.2.08 at Sion, Mumbai. The applicant' s father-in-law resides in Chembur Colony whereas the applicant is residing at Vashi Naka. It is also stated in the application that the father of the applicant aged about 72 years is not keeping good health and is to be immediately operated upon. A report has been filed by the Investigating Officer perusal whereof reveals that the fact of marriage and ailment of the father of the applicant is substantiated. However it is stated that the applicant is an active shiv sainik and should not be permitted to enter the area from which he has been externed as the same is likely to cause breach of peace. Perused the application so also the report filed by the respondent. In my view, the applicant needs to be granted permission to re-enter Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban area including Vashi. In the result I pass the following order: The applicant is permitted to enter the area of Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban including Vashi from 20.2.2008 till 5.3.2008 (both days inclusive).
