1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.3114 OF 2011 Mr.Kanwal Sailesh Shah .. Petitioner V/s The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr.A.M.Saraogi for the petitioner. Mrs.A.S.Pai, APP for the State. Ms.Shalini Sanjay Sharma, Police Inspector, Extradition Cell & Interpol C.I.V., DCB CID, Mumbai present. CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR & R.G.KETKAR, JJ. DATE: 29th November, 2011. P.C.: 1. The relief claimed in this petition is to direct the Respondent to disclose on oath as to for which case and in what context the petitioner has been made to attend the office of the Respondent and remain there for hours together on daily basis for a period of one week as stated in the petition, and the other relief is for issuing directions to the Respondent, not to cause any harassment to the petitioner and/or not to take action to deport the petitioner from India in any manner whatsoever. 2 2. As regards the last relief claimed by the petitioner, we fail to understand as to how the State Authorities can be directed not to act in accordance with law, if the law permits action against the petitioner including that of deportation pursuant to the order passed by the Court of competent jurisdiction of some other Country. It is not possible for us to accede to the said relief. 3. As regards the grievance regarding harassment caused to the petitioner, we have no hesitation in rejecting even that grievance also, as the petitioner was called upon to attend the office of the Investigating Officer who has been entrusted with the investigation pursuant to the letter of request issued by the Court of Belgium in connection with File No.2010/038 Not : AN10LB30690/10 under Article 347 b of Belgian Penal Code. 4. The statement is also made across the bar by the learned APP on instructions that the petitioner’s statement has been recorded in connection with the said case on 17.11.2011. The Investigating Officer further submits that as and when the presence of petitioner will be required in connection with the said case and in particular investigation thereof, the petitioner will have to make himself available whenever required. Since the details have now been 3 furnished by the Investigating Officer, which necessitated the presence of the petitioner in the office of the Investigating Officer, no further observation is necessary. 5. Petition stands disposed of. (R.G.KETKAR, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
