1 wp3543.10 ast IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 3543 OF 2010 Shri Umakant Kisan Rathod & ors. ....Petitioners. Vs. The Sub­Divisional Police Officer, Solapur Rural Division, Solapur & Anr. ....Respondents Mr. U.N.Tripathi, advocate for petitioners. Mr. K.V.Saste, APP for State. CORAM:­ A.M.KHANWILKAR AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED:­ DECEMBER 20, 2010. P.C. 1. The grievance in this Petition is that the show cause notice served on the Petitioners neither mentions the date of issuance of notice nor gives the details about the proposed action and the period for which the Petitioners are likely to be externed. We are in agreement with the grievance of the Petitioners that such notice cannot be taken forward. The requirement of notice under section 56 of the Mumbai Police Act has been reiterated by this Court on more than one 2 wp3543.10 occasion(See Marry Kutty Thomas-1987 Mh.L.J.342). We therefore, set aside the impugned notice with liberty to the appropriate authority to issue fresh notice to the Petitioners, if so advised. Petition disposed of accordingly. (A.P.BHANGALE, J.)
