1 wp.1656.10.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1656 OF 2010 Mrs.Shehnaz Mubashir Butt ...Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra ...Respondents ...... Ms.Seema Gupta i/b Mr.A.M.Saraogi for Petitioner. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, A.P.P. for Respondents. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND P.D.KODE, JJ. DATED:- SEPTEMBER 27, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard Counsel for the Petitioner and the learned A.P.P. 2. Learned A.P.P. invited our attention to the order dated 8th September 2009 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Criminal Writ Petition No.1381/2009. Even in the said Writ Petition filed by the Petitioner herein, it was prayed that the investigation in respect of death of Petitioner’s son be transferred to independent investigating agency. That relief has been rejected by the said order. It is not open for this Court to entertain the same relief by way of successive Writ Petition. Counsel for the Petitioner, however, contends that the present Writ Petition has been filed in the light 2 wp.1656.10.sxw of new revelations made to the Petitioner as stated in Paragraphs 17 and 18 of the Petition. We fail to understand how that can be the basis to ignore the order passed by this Court on the earlier Petition which not only binds the parties but also this Court. 3. Besides, it is brought to our notice that the Investigating Officer has recorded statements of four other witnesses namely; Ashish Ashok Gokhale, Karl Agnin, Salman Sarkar Hyder Sayyed and Deepak Gajanan Soshte. From their statements, it appears that the deceased Imran Butt was suffering from depression and has committed suicide. Be that as it may, we decline to entertain this Petition for the reason already alluded hereinbefore. Hence, dismissed. (P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
