A division bench of Justices SS Shinde and NJ Jamadar was hearing a petition filed by Mr Rane, seeking to quash the first information report filed in Nashik and all other cases that might be filed in future. Mr Rane in his plea, submitted before the high court on Tuesday, also sought interim protection from arrest. Senior counsel Amit Desai, appearing for the state government, said no coercive action will be taken against Mr Rane in the first information report registered in Nashik till September 17, when the plea would be heard.
