FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4887 OF 2009 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of : Coram, appearances, Court s orders : ’ or directions and Registrar s’ : Court s or Judge s orders ’ ’ orders : _____________________________________________________________________________________ Suresh Jain for applicant Ms.Bavina Kanani for respondent No.1 CORAM : S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 13th JANUARY, 2010. PC :- 1. Heard. 2. Applicant s advocate does not press this ’ application for applicant No.2 as he is already deleted from the array of accused. As far as applicant No.1 is concerned, it is urged that she is a house-wife and, therefore, despite being a partner, she has no role to play in the day to day affairs of the firm. She cannot be held to be responsible for the conduct of business and, therefore, the process deserves to be quashed against her as well. 3. Learned Advocate for first respondent – original plaintiff states that the order issuing process in this case has been passed, post recording of verification statement and all this has been done much prior to the applicant seeking any reliefs in terms of this application. The process was issued on 1st June 2009. Thereafter, the applicant No.1 has appeared and has pleaded not guilty to the offences alleged. Once the plea is recorded, then, this Court should not interfere. 4. It is urged that plea has been recorded during the pendency of this application. Be that as it may, it would be appropriate that in the peculiar facts of this case, the first applicant approaches the Court below and points out all aspects of the case including the one highlighted in the application. All contentions of both sides in that behalf are kept open. Application disposed of. (JUDGE)
