WITH WRIT PETITION NO.1153 OF 2008 Prakash Shivchand Jakhete Petitioner versus The State of Mahrashtra Respondents Mr.Shirish Gupte with M.P.Tekarade for petitioner. Mr.P.G.Gharat, Special P.P. for CBI. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, P.P. for State. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI AND A.A.KUMBHAKONI, JJ. DATE : 21st August 2008 PC : 1. The main relief claimed in these matters was that FIR No.123 of 2005 registered by Economic Offences Wing, at Mumbai be transferred to CBI on the ground that similar ((-2-)) cases were already investigated by the CBI and, therefore, it could be in the interest of justice, if the present case is also investigated by CBI.. 2. The learned APP on instructions, submits that the investigation conducted by the Economic Offences Wing is already complete and the charge sheet would be filed within three weeks. 3. In this view of the matter we do not consider it appropriate to transfer the case at this stage to CBI for investigation as investigation has already been completed. 4. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that similar matters against the petitioners are being prosecuted by Metropolitan Magistrate, 19th Court, Esplanade, Mumbai and, therefore, charge sheet which may now be filed on the basis of investigation in FIR No.123 of 2005, be also filed in the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate, 19th Court. We feel that such a direction cannot be given at this stage. However, if the charge sheet is filed in the appropriate Court, the petitioner ((-3-)) may approach this Court for transfer of said case. 5. The petitions, with these observations, are disposed off.
