State of Maharashtra Vs. Anil Baloba Donbe and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-18-1981

Reported in: 1983CriLJ1308

Dharmadhikari, J.1. We are really surprised by these repeated applications being filed by the Police Officer for cancellation of bail granted to the accused. On earlier two occasions applications for cancellation of bail were filed by the State and the said applications were rejected by the orders dated 23rd June, 1980 as well as 5th Jan., 1981. In the present application it is contended that this Court rejected the said applications for cancellation of bail without passing speaking order. It is really surprising that such a complaint should have been made by the State Government. After hearing both the parties as this Court did not find any substance in the allegations made for cancellation of bail the said applications came to be rejected. The last of such applications came to be rejected on 5th Jan., 1981 and therefore, apparently this Court had considered all the allegations made and existing till that date. In the present application no allegation is made about the involvement of ...

Reported in: AIR1982Bom282

ORDER1. In this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution, a question of law has been raised, but I am relieved of entering into a detailed discussion of the same because that has been already. Decided by authorities which are binding upon me. The petitioner is the tenant of a room forming part of a building bearing C. T. S. No. 2167 situate at Kolhapur and the respondents father was the original owner of the said house. It is an admitted position that the respondents' father has died and the respondents are some _____________________________________________DZ/DZ/B633/82/HR/RSK of the legal representatives of the original owner. If has been brought on record that apart from the five respondents, their father left behind him this widow and three daughters.
