1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 2901 OF 2009 Mir Mozam Ali. .. Petitioner. vs. The Principal Secretary, Home Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai & Ors. .. Respondents. Mr. A.A. Siddiqui for the petitioner.. Ms. P.H. Kantharia, APP., for the Respondent Nos. 1 & 2. Mr. R.A. Lokhande i/by Mr. D.A. Nalawade for Respondent Nos. 4 & 5. CORAM : J. N. PATEL & A. A. SAYED, JJ. DATE : 7TH DECEMBER, 2009 P.C. : The petitioner has filed this petition as a public spirited person who has brought to the notice of the police authorities the malpractices followed in the office of the British Deputy High Commission in India and certain persons in procuring visas by submitting false and bogus documents. 2 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of his reporting the matter to the police, no action has been taken on the ground that respondent no. 3 enjoys diplomatic immunity. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has discharged his fundamental duty in reporting the matter to the police but they are not taking any action and, therefore, he has approached this Court for taking action against persons who in connivance of the British Deputy High Commission are obtaining visas on forged documents. 4. We are not inclined to entertain this petition for the simple reason that if the British Deputy High Commission is issuing visas on forged documents, they are doing so at their peril and so far as the local police is concerned, they can be dealt in accordance with law if any untoward incident happens either within the country or outside the country relating to the persons who have obtained visas based on forged documents. 5. The petition stands dismissed. ( J. N. PATEL, J.) ( A. A. SAYED, J.)
