((-1-)) MST IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.112 OF 2008 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.1136 OF 2007 Anant Atmaram Mahajan Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent P.P.Runwal for applicant. V.B.Konde Deshmukh, APP present. CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. DATE : 9th April 2008 PC : 1. Heard counsel for the parties. The applicant apprehends that the authority proposes to dismiss the applicant on the basis of order of conviction and sentence passed by the Trial Court against the applicant in the criminal case even though the said decision is subject matter of appeal before this Court and the appeal has been admitted. It is not in dispute that the applicant is already placed under suspension after institution of the criminal case against him. As this Court has already admitted the appeal and granted bail to the applicant coupled ((-2-)) MST with the fact that the applicant apprehends that he would be dismissed from service, as mentioned in show cause notice dated 11th December 2007 at page 23 (Exhibit-B) issued by the authority, it is appropriate in the interest of justice to allow this application in terms of prayer clause (a) while making it clear that this order is not an expression of opinion on the justness of the order of suspension already operating against the applicant. Application disposed off on the above terms. (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
