FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2001 OF 2008 Court’s or Judge’s orders Mr.S.V.Gajare, APP for applicant State. CORAM : A.S. OKA, J. DATE : 2 nd May, 200 9. P.C. 1 Heard learned APP for State in support of this Application. The respondent was arrested in connection with a crime registered for offence punishable under Sections 420, 467, 471, 477-A of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is of misappropriation of an amount of Rs.4 Crores 38 Lakhs. Respondent was produced before the learned Magistrate on 4th June, 2008. He was granted police custody remand till 13th June, 2008. The order granting police custody remand was challenged by respondent by filing a Revision Application before the Sessions Court by impugning order dated 9th June, 2008, the Sessions Court reduced the period of police custody remand to 10th June, 2008. 2 There is a justification for the criticism offered by the learned APP. Prima facie, it appears to me that the Sessions Court could not have interfered with the order granting police custody remand upto 13th June, 2008. However, respondent was arrested on 3rd June 2008 and, therefore, even if the petition is to be allowed, now it will not be possible, at this stage, to grant police custody remand. 3 In the circumstances, no case is made out for interference. Though the impugned order may not be legal only due to lapse lack of time no interference can be made. Subject to the what is observed, the petition is dismissed. [A.S.OKA, J.] wp2001-08
