Even copies of the station diary entries are annexed. Police have also recorded the statement of one Bhushan Mithari and Prashant Bhosale. They have not aware about such persons. 3.

Since then no steps are taken for serving them. Sufficient time was granted to the prosecution. Today request is made for granting some more time. I am not inclined. Let appeal be dismissed. 4.
