The protection is granted only to enable the applicant to approach the Sessions Court at Vasai seeking anticipatory bail.

While granting interim protection I shall not be understood to have examined the merits of the case and the Sessions Court shall deal with the application for anticipatory bail on merits and without being influenced by this order.
