IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 351 OF 2015 Shri Gautam Hemanilal Jain ....Petitioner versus The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent Mr. P. S. Pandey, advocate for the petitioner. Mrs. S. V. Sonavane, APP for the State.

CORAM : RANJIT MORE & A. P. BHANGALE, JJ.

DATED : 7th MAY, 2015.

P.C.:

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP, we find that the petitioner has an efficacious alternative remedy to apply for discharge, since charge-sheet is already filed. We are, therefore, not inclined to entertain this petition. The petition, accordingly, stands dismissed. 2.

The petitioner, however, is at liberty to apply for discharge before the trial Court. In the event, such an application is filed by the petitioner, the trial Court shall decide the same as expeditiously as possible and independently on its own merits.
