IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.590 OF 2001 CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.590 OF 2001 CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.590 OF 2001 State of Maharashtra ..Petitioner Versus Prakash Bablya Patil ..Respondent ---- Mr.P.A.Pol APP for the petitioner/State. ---- Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 11.4.2008. PC 1. This is a petition filed by the State impugning an order passed by the Sessions Judge Thane, dismissing an appeal against the order of confiscation of tempo vehicle dated 28.8.2000 passed by the Assistant Conservator, Forest, Palghar. The petition has been filed without annexing the order dated 28.8.2000. Apart from that in paragraph-12 of the impugned judgment and order, I find that the order that was challenged before the Sessions Judge was passed without furnishing copies of the statements which were recorded in the process of enquiry. The Sessions Judge has recorded an admission of the Assistant Conservator of the Forest who was present in the Court and who admitted that no such copies were ever furnished to the owner. If this being the correct position, then the order : 2 : dated 28.8.2000 passed by the Assistant Conservator was an order passed without following rules of natural justice. 2. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this Writ petition. Writ petition stands dismissed. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
