abs FARAD CONTINUATION IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3134 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Court's or Judge's Orders Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or directions and Registrar's Orders Mr. Rajesh Datar for the petitioners. Mr. S.N. Gawade, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, JJ. DATE : 3RD DECEMBER 2009 P.C. : 1. The petitioner is guilty of delay and laches. The impugned order was passed on 20th December 2008 and the writ petition has been filed on 26th November 2009. The delay is not at all explained in the petition. 2. Considering the fact that the impugned order is passed under section 145 of the Cr.P.C., the delay, in my view, is fatal. The petition is therefore rejected summarily. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
