1 139.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.139 OF 2011 Mrs.Lata Khera @ Anita Bhatia ...Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent ...... Mr.A.M.Saraogi for Petitioner. Ms.M.H.Mhatre, A.P.P. for Respondent/State. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED:- JANUARY 25, 2011. P.C. 1. The primary grievance in this Petition is about the inaction of the local police in registering the offence on the basis of complaint made by the Petitioner. In support of this submission, reliance is placed on Exhibit E at page 119. It is a legal notice sent by the Advocate to Commissioner of Police and other Officers of the Police Department including the Inspector in-charge of Mira Road Police Station. 2. For the time being, we would accept the submission of the learned Counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner made attempt to give her statement before the local Police Officer in the past but the same went 2 139.11 unnoticed and no action was taken by the concerned Police Officer. However, as the learned A.P.P. on instructions of PSI Mr.A.B.Mhandale who is present in Court submits that if the Petitioner were to present herself in the local police station for recording of her statement, the same will be recorded and if it discloses cognizable offence, necessary action as may be required in accordance with law will be taken thereafter. 3. In view of this assurance, the Petitioner agrees to visit the Office of PSI Mr.A.B.Mhandale, D.B.Marg Police Station at around 10.00 a.m. on 27th January, 2011 for recording of her statement, which will be recorded by the concerned Officer and action will be taken on the basis of the said statement in accordance with law. 4. In view of the above, nothing survives for consideration in the present Petition. The same is disposed of. (A.R.JOSHI, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
