P.C:

1.

Heard. In view of learned APP pointing out that application itself discloses that the charge has been framed at the trial and the learned counsel for the Applicant on query submitting that it has been framed on 25.8.2014, it is difficult to entertain the prayer for bail at such a delicate stage of trial pertaining to the commission of offence under section 392 r/w. Section 34 of the IPC. 2.

However, since it is brought to the notice that the Applicant is arrested on 25.7.2013 and since then he is in custody, having due regard to the right of accused in custody to have an early trial this application is disposed of with directions to Sessions Court seized with Sessions Case No.290 of 2013 arising out of Crime No.187 of 2013 registered with Thane Railway Police Station for offence under section Megha 1 of 2

17_ba_2254_2014.doc 392 r/w section 34 of the IPC, etc. to commence and complete recording of evidence at the trial and conclude it at the earliest and in any event by the end of August, 2015. The Applicant on his part shall cooperate for expeditious disposal of the trial. In event of trial being not complete by the aforesaid date saving just exceptions, liberty to renew the prayer for bail.
