1.

Learned Counsel for the Petitioner states that only to harass Petitioners, the multiple FIR are being placed one after other, so as to defeat bail orders passed in favour of the Petitioners. 2.

Learned Counsel upon instructions states that insofar as the prayer clauses (b) and (f) are concerned, the Petitioners be given opportunity to file fresh petition in the light of multiple FIR after considering them.

3.

Learned Counsel states that about three preliminary inquiries are going on and they should be directed to be completed in time bond manner. If necessary, the Petitioners who are in custody should Sneha Chavan 1/2

4.

Learned APP upon instructions states that all three preliminary inquiries are already over and FIR are also registered. 5.

She also adds that as the offences are committed by adding different persons/different companies, there are complications and various persons and records of companies are required to be looked into. This is required to be done systematically and hence, after each offence is registered, considering the need only, Petitioners are shown as arrested.

6.

We keep the contentions of both the sides open. 7.

As preliminary inquiries are already over, it is open to Respondent to interrogate and investigate into. Register FIR since Petitioners are already in custody. It is also open to them to mention Petitioners as arrested in those FIR.

8.

With these orders, we grant leave and liberty as sought for by Petitioners.

9.

With liberty to Petitioners to approach again in proper challenge, we dispose of this writ petition.
