1 2607.10.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2607 OF 2010 Ganpat Kanu Mendadkar ...Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra & Anr. ...Respondents ...... Mr.Abhaykumar Apte i/b Mr.R.K.Mendadkar for Petitioner. Dr.F.R.Shaikh, A.P.P. for Respondent No.1. Ms.Pratibha Borade i/b Mr.M.S.Kumthekar for Respondent No.2. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND P.D.KODE, JJ. DATED:- OCTOBER 27, 2010. P.C. 1. The relief claimed in this Petition was to produce the missing daughter of the Petitioner. She was produced before us on 21st September 2010. On verification of the Certificate relied by the daughter as also the Certificate produced by police from the Registrar including the medical examination certificate, it was evident that the daughter had become adult much before the incident in question. Inasmuch as she is born on 4th July 1992. In the circumstances, she was allowed to go with her husband Shailesh Tukaram Shelar with whom she entered into marriage on 2nd September 2010. 2 2607.10.sxw 2. The only question that remained to be addressed is about the circumstances in which the Petitioner procured another Certificate from the same Officer. The concerned Officer was called upon to explain the circumstances. Pursuant to which direction, the said Officer filed affidavit stating that the duplicate Certificate was issued on the basis of the affidavit given by the Petitioner for changing the name of his daughter. In other words, the Petitioner misled the Authority to issue such Certificate and relying on the said Certificate has approached this Court to assert that his daughter was minor at the relevant time. In the light of the said fact, the Authority has already registered FIR against the Petitioner as is stated by the learned A.PP. 3. We hope and trust that the criminal case registered against the Petitioner will be proceeded to its logical end in accordance with law. Insofar as show-case notice issued to the Petitioner, we direct the Registrar of this Court to register complaint before appropriate Court against the Petitioner for having, in the first place, caused to fabricate the document and having used the same in the proceedings before this Court. That compliant be filed expeditiously. Show-cause notice is made absolute on 3 2607.10.sxw the above terms. The apology tendered by the Petitioner on affidavit is unacceptable. The Petitioner used the offending document with full knowledge that the same was fabricated and false. In such a case, the question of accepting the apology does not arise. 4. In view of the above, no further direction is required on this Petition. The same is disposed of. (P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
