Respondents Mr. V.R.Sutrale,Advocate, for the petitioners Mr.Rajesh More, APP, for the respondent No.1 - State. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 24th March, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard. The petition is filed by the petitioners not to take action against the petitioner, their servants and agents in implementation or enforcement of the recovery proceedings. 2. According to the petitioner, 13 cases have been filed by the different borrowers against the petitioners and their employees on the allegation that they had threatened or used force and taken forcible possession of the vehicles. Each matter has to be dealt with independently on its own merits after investigation. A blanket protection order cannot be given in favour of the petitioners or its employees in a large number of criminal cases, particularly when there are 2 WP-2590-09.sxw allegations that the petitioner its employees and musclemen use illegal methods and force for the purpose of recovery of the dues. In my opinion, it will not be proper for this Court to pass any such order and to stop the police from taking action as per law. 3. Therefore, the petition stands dismissed. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
