1 cri-wp-1878-10 pdp IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1878 OF 2010 Shri Vasant Korga Shetty .. Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Umesh Mankapure for petitioner. Mrs. M. M. Deshmukh, APP for State. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. August 09, 2010. P.C. We have heard Mr. Mankapure the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 14/6/2010 passed by the Collector of Sangali under Section 18(1) of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. It is seen from the record that, as required, a show cause notice was issued to the petitioner on 16/4/2010 and the 2 cri-wp-1878-10 petitioner submitted his reply to the same in writing on or about 26/4/2010. The impugned order has been thus passed after providing due opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and it is a preventive step for a period of one year. Mr. Mankapure has drawn our attention to a decision of this court (DB) in the case of Dhansingh Gopal Chauhan vs. State of Maharashtra [2005 (3) Mh.L.J. 500]. In our opinion the said decision is not applicable in the facts of this case. We are satisfied that on the face of the facts of this case and more importantly that the Lodging and Boarding was being run by the petitioner himself, which is located in the vicinity of the ST Bus Stand, we do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order, which is by way of a preventive measure. Hence, the petition is rejected summarily. (ANOOP V. MOHTA,J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
