IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.416 OF 2011 Gurudino Rewachand -- Applicant V/s. 1. Swapnil Tulaskar & Anr. 2. The State of Maharashtra -- Respondents Mr. M.D. Mali, Advocate, for the Respondent No.1. Smt. G.P. Mulekar, APP, for the Respondent No.2. CORAM :- J.H. BHATIA, J. DATE :- 26th September, 2011. P.C. 1. None for the Applicant. 2. The Applicant is the original Complainant. By this application he seeks leave to prefer appeal against the order of acquittal. The judgment of the trial Court clearly reveals that, the complainant was carrying on business of money lending without valid license U/s.10 of Bombay Money Lending Act, unless a money lender holds a valid license, no Court shall pass decree in favour of money lender in respect of the loan advance by him. Thus, the loan advance by the complainant to the accused was not a liability which could be legally enforced. The trial Court dismissed the complaint and acquitted the accused on that ground. I find no fault with the same. 3. Therefore, the application stands dismissed. ( J.H. BHATIA, J.)
