CORAM : R.M. JOSHI , J.

DATE : 9TH MARCH, 2026.

P.C. :- 1.

During the course of the hearing, learned APP informs the Court that trial has already commenced and out of 8 witnesses, 3 witnesses have been examined. It is her contention that the trial can be concluded expeditiously and hence there is no propriety in passing any order on this application. 2.

Considering the fact that the trial has already 1/2
