10 Now, we turn to the order dated 17th August, 2015 passed in Criminal Writ Petition No.3488 of 2014. Only direction sought in the said Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India appears to be against the State of Maharashtra to comply with the order dated 7 th October, 2000 passed by the learned Magistrate on the aforesaid Complaint. From the title of the order dated 17 th August, 2015, it is obvious that persons who are named as accused in the Complaint on which the said order is passed were not made parties to the Petition. In any case, the said persons were not before the Court when the petition was disposed of. In fact, the learned APP made a statement that the registers and other documents of the police station have been destroyed due to floods on 26th July, 2005. The only direction issued by the Division Bench is of directing the Oshiwara Police Station to comply 9 of 31 cr wp-924.16.sxw with the order dated 7th October, 2000 which was in force as on that date. In the said Petition, the Division bench had no occasion to go into the legality of the said order.
