Mr.Birjesh Goswami for petitioner. Mr.D.S.Mhaispurkar, APP for State. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & J.H.BHATIA,JJ. June 24, 2008 P.C. . We have heard Mr.Anand Jondhale with Mr.Goswami, the learned counsel for the petitioner and the petitioner is personally present before this Court. The petitioner is aggrieved by the show cause notice dated 4/11/2007 issued by the Asst. Commissioner of Police, Girgaum Division, Mumbai proposing to pass an order of externment under Section 56(1)(a) of the Bombay Police Act, 1951 against the petitioner. The learned counsel submitted that similar order was passed on 10/1/2006 for a period of three months and this fresh notice has been issued without any fresh cause and not with bona fide intentions. He further submitted that the notice has been replied to and no further order has been passed. 2 . Mr.Mhaispurkar, the learned APP, on instructions, stated that the Asst. Commissioner of Police, who is also Enquiry Officer, has submitted his report to the concerned Deputy Commissioner of Police on 1/3/2008 who has issued notice to the petitioner to remain present on 11/3/2008 before the DCP so as to afford him an opportunity of hearing. Mr.Mhaispurkar further stated that the petitioner did not appear and, therefore, no final order has yet been passed. . The petitioner undertakes to remain present before the DCP on 1st July 2008 along with an Advocate between 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. We expect that the petitioner is heard and the final order is passed keeping in mind that the show cause notice is based only on two fresh in-camera statements recorded on 12/5/2007 and 10/5/2007. The final order be passed expeditiously. Petition is disposed off. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
