1 SNS IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CRIMINAL JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4618 OF 2010 Rajesh J. Parekh ...Applicant. v. State of Maharashtra & Anr. ...Respondents. Mr. Uday P. Warunjikar i/by PDS and Associates, adv. For the Applicant. Mr.Y.M.Nakhwa, APP For the Respondent No.1/State. Shri Shyam Mehta a/w Mandar Goswami, advs. For the R.No.2/CBI. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : NOVEMBER 25, 2010 P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the parties. Applicant has filed this application seeking permission to travel abroad. According to him, he is involved in 7 criminal cases pending before the three different Courts. Each of the cases is filed by the CBI- Bank Securities and Fraud Cell under Sections 120-B read with Section 420 of the I.P.C. According to him, whenever, he is required to travel abroad, he is required to obtain permission from each of the Court separately, which takes a lot of time and his very purpose of seeking permission gets frustrated. Therefore, he wants permission from this Court so that he may not be required to obtain permission from each of the trial Court independently. The 2 learned Counsel for the CBI points out that the applicant does not hold any valid passport and, therefore, his travel schedule attached with this application is meaningless and he cannot seek permission to travel abroad unless he has got valid passport. There is substance in the contention of the learned counsel for the CBI. 2 In view of the above, application stands rejected. However, the applicant shall have the liberty to move afresh after valid passport is issued to him. (J.H. BHATIA,J.)
