DATED : FEBRUARY 17, 2016.

Heard Shri D.V. Chauhan, advocate for the applicant and Ms Ritu Kalia, A.P.P. for the non-applicant. The applicant has approached this Court seeking pre-arrest bail apprehending arrest in crime registered against him for the offence punishable under Sections 3 and 7 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 and Section 201 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned advocate for the applicant has pointed out that the applicant has filed Criminal Application (APL) No. 45 of 2016 praying for quashing of the First Information Report registered against him. Criminal Application (APL) No. 45 of 2016 is being considered by the Division Bench of this Court and the order is passed on 20th January, 2016 restraining the non-applicant from taking any coercive steps against the applicant.

In my view, the applicant having been protected by the order passed in Criminal Application(APL) No. 45 of 2016, the present application has become infructuous. It is disposed of accordingly.

2 aba694.15 It is clarified that the applicant is at liberty to approach this Court again, if contingency arises. CRI. APPLN. (APPP) NO. 1458/2015.

In view of disposal of the main application, the application for time to file certified copy of the order and say of prosecution does not survive, hence, it is disposed of accordingly.

JUDGE RRaut..
