UPADHYE, JJ.

DATE : 03/09/2018 We have heard Shri S.P. Dharmadhikari, the learned Senior Counsel assisted by Shri C.S. Dharmadhikari, the learned Counsel for the applicant in all the applications.

0309apl422.18.odt It is informed to us by him that as per the directions issued in the Public Interest Litigation, the entire prosecution is to be completed within a period of three months. The charge-sheet has already been filed except in Criminal Application (APL) No.42/2018.

After hearing for quite some time, we think that this is a case where the parties could be relegated back for the decision on the application for discharge. In the facts and circumstances of this case, we find it appropriate to exempt the applicant from his personal appearance before the Court until and unless his presence so required and directed by the Court.

The criminal applications are dismissed. All questions are left open.
