CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 6th August, 2009.
PC:
These two applications have been filed by the same applicant seeking release on bail. In Application No.2823/09 the applicant is charged for commission of offence punishable under sections 395, 397, 452 of IPC and section 25 and 4(c) of the Arms Act. Whereas in Application No.2824/09 the applicant is charged for the offence punishable under sections 394, 397 read with section 34 of IPC and section 25(1) (3) of the Arms Act. After hearing learned counsel for the applicant for quite sometime he suggests that he would not press these applications in case directions is issued to the court below to commence and conclude the trial expeditiously. Having regard to the fact that the applicant is in custody since 25.11.07 the prayer for expeditious trial is justified. In the result the applications are disposed of as not pressed. However the trial Court is directed to expeditiously proceed with the trial of the case. I hope and trust that the court below will make endevour to commence the trial within a period of four months from today.
