For the reasons recorded separately, which are under typing, following order is passed:-

O R D E R

3/5

(iii) The order dated 2nd September 2023 passed by the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Mangaon-Alibag is set aside. (iv) The Applicant - Bahubali Tatyaso Dhamane (Original Accused No.3) is discharged from Sessions Case No.21 of 2020 for the offences punishable under Sections 304, 420, 465, 467, 468, 120-B, 471, 201, 337, 338 read with 34 of the IPC.

(v) The observations made in this order are only for the purpose of deciding the discharge prayer.

(vi) The trial Court to decide the matter on merits without being influenced by the aforesaid observations. 2.

The Criminal Revision Applications are disposed of in the above terms.

[S. M. MODAK, J.] 3.

After pronouncing the order, learned Advocate Shri.Mulani submitted that he has got instructions to challenge this order and he prayed for direction to the trial Court not to frame a charge for one month.

4.

It is opposed by learned Special Public Prosecutor Shri.Solkar. 4/5

According to him, one of the Co-accused is granted bail just because the trial is not started. In fact, he prayed for issuing direction to the trial Court to expedite the hearing.

5.

It is true that due to pendency of these Revision Applications, framing of charge is already delayed. So, I am rejecting the prayer for issuing the necessary directions not to frame charge. I do not think, framing of charge will come in the way of the Applicant Yunus Shaikh to challenge the order before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. In fact, the facts and circumstances warrant me to issue directions to the trial Court to expedite the trial and dispose it of as early as possible. [S. M. MODAK, J.] 5/5
