Ms.M.H.Mhatre, APP for the State. Mrs.Anjali P. Purav for Respondent No.2. CORAM : B.H. MARLAPALLE & U.D. SALVI, JJ. JUNE 20, 2011 P.C. :- 1 After we had heard the petitioner – the party in person, we had called for the record and proceeding in Criminal Revision Application No. 1164/2008 from the Sessions Court for Greater Mumbai. 2 The petitioner submitted that her application for taking action under Section 340 of Cr.P.C. was not decided by the revision court when the 2 wp 664-2011 application was dismissed and hence, this petition has been taken out for appropriate directions. 3 We have perused the record and proceeding in Criminal Revision Application No.1164/2008. The Roznama shows that on 30th June, 2009, the petitioner presented a separate application praying for action under Section 340 of Cr.P.C. against the respondent. Respondent no.2 before the Sessions Court also filed reply and opposed the said application. However, the record shows that no order was passed on the application. 4 If the application filed under Section 340 of Cr.P.C. is decided, such an order is appealable under Section 341 of the same Code. However, as noted earlier, the record and proceeding of Criminal Revision Application No.1164/2008 shows that the application has not been decided and hence, the same is required to be heard and decided by the Sessions 3 wp 664-2011 Court. 5 Hence, we direct that the petitioner’s application filed on 30th June, 2009 in Criminal Revision Application No.1164/2008 for an action under Section 340 of Cr.P.C. be decided after hearing all the parties, as expeditiously as possible, and preferably within a period of three months. 6 The writ petition is disposed off in terms of the above directions. 7 Writ to go to the Sessions Court for Greater Bombay forthwith.
