1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY: NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR Criminal Writ Petition No.677 of 2010 [Ravikumar Kanakraju Tanangi & another Vs. Mah. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission & ors.] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Mr. U.S. Dastane, Adv., for the petitioner. Mr. V.A. Thakre, APP for respondent nos. 1 and 2. ----- CORAM : A.H. JOSHI AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE : 08th December, 2010. 01. Heard. 02. Notice restricted to respondent nos. 1 and 2 only. 03. Learned APP Mr. V.A. Thakare waives service for respondent nos. 1 and 2. 04. Petitioners have challenged two orders [Annexs.M-1 and M-2] [page nos. 61 and 62]. These orders decline to cancel the non-bailable warrants. 05. Petitioners have tried to encompass a larger issue in the petition, namely scope of Section 27-A of the Consumer Protection Act, 2 1986, so as to include in Section 27-A thereof the power of appeal against interlocutory orders as well. 06. Considering the position that the purpose of the petition is very narrow, namely the petitioners want their warrants of arrest to be cancelled, present may not be a fit case where this Court should exert to go into the details, which may be gone into in appropriate petition. 07. It shall suffice if this petition is disposed of with certain observations. 08. It is well know that purpose of issuance of non-bailable warrant is to secure the attendance, and not to keep the party in detention indefinitely. The party, when appears, can be put to terms, such as cash security, apart from bail and surety bond etc. Hope this aspect would be borne in mind by the Authorities. 09. If the petitioners appear before the Forum and make out proper grounds and express remorse towards their absence in the application for cancellation of warrants, the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum shall pass orders according to law in relation to cancellation of warrants, on such conditions as it deems fit and proper. 3 10. In view that the petitioners undertake to appear on the next date, i.e., on 16 th December, 2010, and ensure their presence or their Advocate s presence, we further direct that until the application for cancellation of warrants is decided, the execution of non- bailable warrants shall remain stayed.
