((-1-)) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2978 of 2006 Vinod Thakkar Applicant versus State of Maharashtra Respondent Jehangir Hyet i/by Girish Kulkarni for applicant S.P.Pednekar, APP for State B.B.Tiwari for original complainant. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 30th August 2006 PC : 1. Anticipatory Bail Application preferred by the applicants herein before the Trial Court was dismissed on 2nd August 2006. Thereafter, upon this application, an order was passed by this court on 10th August 2006 directing that the applicant may not be arrested. This order is continuing till date. 2. I am informed by learned counsel for the applicant as also the original complainant that the parties are negotiating for over all settlement and for that purpose earlier also this ((-2-)) application was adjourned. 3. In my view, instead of keeping it pending, interest of justice would be subserved if it is directed that the respondents would give 72 years prior notice to the applicant in case they decide to proceed and arrest them. In that event, it would be open for the applicant to file an application for anticipatory bail afresh and neither rejection of bail application by the Trial Court nor disposal of present application, shall prejudice their rights and contentions in that behalf. Application disposed of. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
