It is prosecution's case that on 1st January, 2023 around 9:45 p.m. the first informant's brother Jitendra Sawant was assaulted by the Applicant and co-accused on the ground of old dispute. He was assaulted with sharp weapons with intention to kill him. In the said Shantanu S. Dhudum 1/4

assault, he has suffered serious injuries.

It is contention of learned counsel for the Applicant that the Applicant is behind bars for more than thirty two months, yet there is no progress in the trial. The Applicant has no antecedents. Hence, requested to allow the application.
