Mr.S.V.Marvadi with Adv.M.D.Mali for original complainant. Mr.S.S.Pednekar, APP present. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 18th August 2006 PC : 1. Heard Shri Kadam for the applicant, Shri Pednekar-APP for respondents and Shri Marwadi for original complainants. 2. From the record it is clear that pursuant to an order of the Division Bench of this Court dated 6th September 2005 the applicant has not been arrested. A direction "not to arrest the applicant" has been continuing since then. Apart from this, this Court has directed the applicant to deposit certain amounts, which have been also deposited. All applications for reduction of amounts have also been rejected. For all this time, the interim protection/direction not to ((-2-)) arrest the applicant has been continuing. 3. The matter appeared before me day before yesterday and I had adjourned the proceedings at the request of learned APP to enable him to take instructions. 4. Today, in the presence of the I.O. a statement is made by Shri Pednekar that the charge sheet in this case would be filed within a period of two weeks from today. 5. This application, therefore, can be disposed of by continuing the direction as recorded above, for a period of three weeks from today, to enable the applicant to apply for bail before the regular Court. 6. All contentions of both sides are expressly kept open and continuation of interim direction, shall not be construed as any expression of opinion on the merits of the case. 7. Notice/s issued to other trustees are discharged. Criminal Application No.984 of 2006 is disposed of. ((-3-)) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
