Sr Adv Rafique Dada appearing for the State requests for the continuation of the statement by CBI for two more weeks to enable him to study the judgement and to take appropriate steps.

SG Tushar Mehta opposes the prayer.

Mehta: The statement was made by CBI in peculiar circumstances and with the dismissal of the petition, we are not in a position to continue the statement.

Dada makes an oral application for stay on the effect and application of judgment.

#BombayHighCourt

Mehta opposes this prayer as well.

Order: Since we have dismissed the petition by recording adequate reasons, and no restraint was in part of operation by CBI, we do not think it expedient to stay the effect and operation.

Order: Otherwise it would amount to interfering with the investigation which is part of the petition.

Oral application stands rejected.
