1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1840 OF 2010 Pratap Chhaganlal Hirani ....Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent ----- Rohini A. Wagh for Applicant ---- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 21ST APRIL, 2010 P.C. 1. The application has been filed seeking return of the passport and also seeking permission of this Court to permit the Applicant to visit Dubai for a period of one week. 2 The Applicant has approached this Court directly by order dated 4th August, 1998 and this Court was pleased to grant bail to the Applicant. He was, however, directed to hand over his passport and further condition was imposed that he shall not leave India without permission of the Court. The Applicant, therefore, first applied to the Sessions Court. 1 3. I am informed by the learned Counsel for the Applicant that the Applicant had approached the Session Court, however, his application was not accepted. 4. In my view, it would be appropriate, if the Applicant first approaches the Sessions Court. The Sessions Court shall accept the application if filed by the Applicant and the said application is heard and disposed of expeditiously preferably within two weeks on merits and in accordance with law. 5. Application is disposed of. 6. Parties to act on the authenticated copy. (V.M. KANADE J.)
