Heard the learned advocate for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The petitioners are seeking quashing of Criminal Cases pending against them under Section 420 of IPC and under the M.P.I.D.Act. The said cases are pending before the Courts at Alibaug-Raigad, Karad-Satara, Pune, Kalyan, Thane, Kudal-Sindhudurg and at Ratnagiri as stated in Annexure-D to the petition. It is seen that the petitioners have preferred the present petition for quashing of all these cases. In my view, it would [-2-] be appropriate that the petitioners prefer separate proceedings in respect of each of the said cases. Liberty is granted to the petitioners to prefer separate proceedings in each of the matters as mentioned in Annexure-D to the petition. In order to enable the petitioners to prefer separate proceedings in each of the matters, trial in those cases is stayed upto 16.12.2008. 3. Petition is disposed of.
