1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2145 OF 2006 Chandrakant Appasaheb Ghodke .... Petitioner Vs. State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri P.B. Shah for the Petitioner. Dr. F.R. Shaikh, APP, for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATED: AUGUST 27, 2009 P.C: In this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged an observation in the judgment and order of the learned Sessions Judge, Pune in Sessions Case No.247 of 2003. The said observation reads thus: "In the interest of justice, the copy of the judgment be sent to RTO Pune and the Commissioner of Police, Pune for taking necessary action against the concerned officers". The petitioner was the investigating officer in the case at the relevant time. There are certain strictures and observations made in the 2 judgment. The accused had to be acquitted and according to the learned Judge, the RTO officers and the investigating officer had proceeded in the case in the manner which ensured the acquittal of the accused. The learned Judge has also observed that the real accused were not brought to the book. We agree with the counsel for the petitioner that the learned Sessions Judge has ordered action against the officers without even hearing them. Therefore, we modify the direction given by the learned Sessions Judge to the extent that after perusing the copy of the judgment, the Commissioner of Police, Pune and the RTO, Pune shall proceed in the matter and if any action is contemplated, due inquiry under the service rules shall be conducted against the alleged delinquent officials. The whole process shall be completed within a period of six months. With the following observations, the petition is disposed of. BILAL NAZKI, J. A.R. JOSHI, J.
