3 It is seen form the record and proceedings that the applicant / accused has been convicted under Section 325 of the IPC and he appears to be released on bail. When several appeals in which accused persons are undergoing jail sentence are pending before this court, the appeal of an accused, who is already released on bail, cannot be given precedence.
Hence, the application is rejected.
