1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Writ Petition No. 2639 of 2009 Hemant Sharad Gore ...Petitioner v/s. The State of Maharashtra & ors. ...Respondents Smt. S.A. Dhamale, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. M.H.Mhatre, APP for the State. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR, J DATED:- November 09, 2009. P.C. Heard Counsel for the parties. 2. It is not in dispute that the order passed by the authority which has been modified by the Appellate Authority is already complied with. The Petitioner nevertheless has approached this Court on the ground that externment order passed against the Petitioner may operate as stigma on his record. The question is whether the Appellate Authority has committed any manifest error in deciding the 2 appeal. According to the Petitioner, the Appellate Authority has completely overlooked the crucial argument of the Petitioner that the 3 cases filed against the Petitioner were politically motivated and to falsely implicate the petitioner in the said cases. On perusal of the order passed by the Authority, it is evident that the Appellate Authority has considered 5 grounds urged before it by the Petitioner. Those grounds have been considered and over all view has been recorded by the Appellate Authority. It is not open to the competent authority to enquire into the fact that the cases registered against the externment are false as such. The question whether the Petitioner would eventually succeed in the trial in these cases is entirely a different matter than the action of externment. In my opinion, the impugned order does not suffer from any manifest error. Hence, dismissed. (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J)
