CORAM: SMT.V.K. TAHILRAMANI,J. Date : November 19, 2008. Date : November 19, 2008. Date : November 19, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State. 2. The petitioner is seeking quashing of Chapter Proceeding No. 28 of 2008 and Court Case No. 73 of 2008 initiated by the Special Executive Magistrate, Meghwadi Division, Mumbai. It is seen that in the said case only show cause notice has been issued against the petitioner. 3. As only show cause notice has been issued :2: against the petitioner, I am not inclined to quash the show cause notice at this stage and it is open to the petitioner to examine any witness or furnish any document as felt necessary by him. After going through the reply filed by the petitioner to the show cause notice and on going through the material in the said case, including the material that may be adduced by the petitioner, the Special Executive Magistrate may also drop the Chapter Proceedings against the petitioner. Hence, in my view, it will be premature to interfere at this stage. In case the petitioner is called upon to furnish interim or final bond, the petitioner should be given five days time to furnish surety and to comply with the conditions in the said bond. The said Chapter Proceedings be disposed of as expeditiously as possible. 4. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.) (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.) (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.)
