P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioner. 2 The principal grievance seems to be that the Petitioner is being unnecessarily harassed in connection with false NC cases, in which he has allegedly been named. Moreover, even though the Petitioner has filed his reply to the show-cause-notice, under Section 149 of the Code of Criminal Procedure issued by the Senior Police Inspector, Khar Police Station, as back as on 11 th February, 2010, the said proceedings have been kept pending and the Petitioner has been made 2 15-wp.1175.10 to appear in the police station from time to time without any good reason. In response to this submission, Mr. Yagnik, learned APP on instructions of the concerned officer, who is present in Court states that the proceedings pending in the Khar Police Station against the Petitioner will be finally disposed of within two weeks from today. That assurance, however, is on clear understanding that the parties to the said proceedings should extend full co-operation for the early disposal thereof. The Petitioner through counsel assures to extend full co-operation for early disposal of the proceedings. Similarly the Respondent No.2 who is present in Court also assures for the same. 3 Petition is disposed of leaving all questions open. We make it clear that the concerned police authority who is expected to decide the proceedings under Section 149 of the Criminal Procedure Code shall give fair opportunity to the parties and pass appropriate order as may be advised in accordance with law on its own merits. 4 The concerned police assures to give prior notice of atleast 24 hours to the parties to the proceedings. 5 Petition disposed of accordingly.
