Versus

The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent -- Mr.J.V.Deshpande, advocate for applicant Mr.S.R.Palnitkar, APP for respondent - State -- CORAM : M.T. JOSHI, J.

DATE : JULY 27, 2015 PER COURT :

Heard both sides.

2] Present applicant, who is arrested by Kannad Police Station, Tq. Kannad, Dist. Aurangabad in Crime No.I-46 of 2014 for the offences punishable under Section 302, 307, 326, 324, 323, 504 read with 34 of Indian Penal Code, is praying for his release on bail.

2 1-crappln3201-15.odt 3] His earlier application for bail bearing Criminal Application No.5305 of 2014 was rejected by this Court on 30th October, 2014 with a direction to learned Sessions Judge, to expedite the trial.

4] The report from concerned Sessions Court dated 14th July, 2015 would show that the trial can be concluded within eight months.

5] Upon hearing both sides, it has become clear that this Court had visited the case of the applicant earlier in his previous bail application. Though direction to expedite the trial is issued, the report of the concerned Sessions Court would show that since number of similar cases are pending, the trial would be concluded within eight months.

3 1-crappln3201-15.odt 6] Considering the merits of the case that according to the prosecution, in broad day light, present applicant has assaulted a 31 years old person (deceased) with hammer on his head over a trivial issue of giving cigarette on credit, in my view, this is not a fit case to release the applicant on bail.

7] Hence, present application for grant of bail is rejected.

8] Learned Sessions Judge is directed to take efforts for conclusion of the trial within a period of eight months, as reported by him in the letter.

Registry to communicate accordingly.
