DATED : MARCH 10, 2016.

Heard Shri S.A.Chaudhari, advocate for the applicant and Shri S.M. Bhagde, A.P.P. for the non-applicant. The applicant has approached this Court seeking pre-arrest bail apprehending arrest in the crime registered against him for the offences 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. 85 of 20016 praying for quashing of the First Information Report registered against him. Criminal Application (APL) No.85 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. 85 of 2016, the present application has become infructuous. It is disposed of accordingly.

It is clarified that the applicant is at liberty to approach this Court again, if contingency arises. JUDGE RRaut..
