Mr. Ayaz Khan a/w Ms. Zehra Charania for the Applicant. Mrs. M. R. Tidke, APP for the Respondent-State. ...

CORAM: ABHAY.M. THIPSAY, J.

DATED: 27th APRIL, 2015.

P.C.:

1] When it is opined that the contentions raised by Mr. Khan are such as would require a meticulous analysis of the entire evidence adduced during the trial as would be required to be done when the appeal is to be finally heard, and that upon reading the judgment delivered by the trial Court, this does not seem to be a case for suspension of sentence, Mr. Khan submits that in that case, he would not press the present application, but would urge that the appeal be decided expeditiously. 2] Hearing the appeal expeditiously as even, otherwise, necessary as the appellant has actually remained in custody for a period of more than 8 years. In the circumstances, though I am not inclined to suspend the sentences, I am inclined that the appeal be listed peremptorily for final hearing on 15th June, 2015.

3] Liberty to mention thereafter.

4] In view of this, the application is allowed to be withdrawn and stands dismissed as such.

(ABHAY M. THIPSAY, J.)
