IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION BAIL APPLICATION NO.1591 OF 2024 Bunty Aajinath Sable ...

Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ...

Respondent Mr. R.D.Suryawanshi, for Applicant.

Mrs. Supriya Kak, APP for State.

CORAM:

N.J.JAMADAR, J.

DATE :

16 APRIL 2024 P.C.

1.

Heard the learned Counsel for the parties.

2.

This is the second bail application. First bail application No.2085 of 2021 was withdrawn on 28 March 2022 as this Court had expressed its disinclination to grant bail.

3.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that though the application was disposed by an order dated 28 March 2022, till date, the charge has not been framed. The applicant has been in custody since 29 December 2020. 4.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant seeks leave to withdraw the application. However, having regard to the period of incarceration of the applicant, learned Counsel seeks direction for expeditious conclusion of the trial. 5.

As the applicant has been in custody since 29 December 2020 and the trial has yet not commenced, a prayer for expeditious conclusion of the trial appears justifiable.

The learned Additional Sessions Judge seized with Sessions Case arising out of C.R.No.347 of 2020 is requested to make an endeavour to commence and conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible and, preferably, within a period of 8 months from the date of communication of this order. 8.

In the event, the trial is not completed within the said period of 8 months, the applicant shall be at liberty to revive the prayer for bail. ( N.J.JAMADAR, J. ) SSP 2/2
