None for the non-applicant.

On 01.03.2019, no one appeared on behalf of the non-applicant and the Court had afforded one opportunity to the non-applicant to appear on the next occasion, failing which Court shall proceed to hear submissions on stay application.

Learned Senior Counsel for the applicant submits that Co- ordinate Bench of this Court has granted stay in similar matter. He has placed for perusal orders dated 24.10.2018 passed in M.Cr.C. No.42276/2018 and 03.05.2016 passed in M.Cr.C. No.8801/2015 (Dr. Kailash Singh Verma vs. M. P. Pollution Control Board). He has also pointed out that M. P.

In the orders passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, it has been pointed out that the applicant was Dr. Kailash Singh Verma, who is the same applicant in the case in hand as well.

Learned Senior Counsel for the applicant submits that there are three slaughter houses and stay has been granted in rest of the two 2 THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH, BENCH AT INDORE M.Cr.C. No.3409 of 2019 matters, which have been registered against the present applicant.

On perusal of the orders of the Co-ordinate Bench, it appears that for want of sanction under Section 197 of Cr.P.C., stay was granted and same appears to be the reason in this case as well.
