1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.233 OF 2001 Standard Chartered Bank .. Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra & Ors. .. Respondents Mr.Nita Singh i/b. M/s.Mahesh Menon & co. for petitioner Mr.S.U.Marwadi for respondent No.3 Ms.M.M.Deshmukh, A.P.P. for State. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 18th October 2006. P.C. . This application could not be served on respondent No.4 as he is absconding. 2 2. The order under challenge in this application is passed by the Sessions Judge on 18th November 1999. In my view, considering the nature of the controversy and the fact that the applicants are claiming to be bonafide purchasers, no useful purpose will be served by keeping the application pending. Orders under challenge are delivered on 18th November 1999 and they arise out of proceedings under section 457 of Cr.P.C. The subject matter of the proceedings is a vehicle. The application is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. (S.C.Dharmadhikari, J)
