1 apeal.865.09.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.865 OF 2009 Baban Tukaram Ranjane ...Appellant Versus State of Maharashtra & Anr. ...Respondents ...... None for Appellant. Dr.F.R.Shaikh, A.P.P. for Respondent No.1. Mr.R.B.Thakore with Mr.A.M.Chimalkar for Respondent No.2. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND U.D.SALVI, JJ. DATED:- AUGUST 31, 2010. P.C. 1. None appears for the Appellant. Learned A.P.P. informs that companion proceedings being Criminal Writ Petition No.2107 of 2009 raising similar issues have been dismissed. Besides, it is contended that the Appeal as filed is ill-advised. For, Appeal under Section 12 is not maintainable against order framing charge being an interlocutory order. He further points out that after framing of charge, the trial has proceeded and about 15 witnesses have already been examined. Presumably, the Appellant is not interested in pursuing the present Appeal. Hence, dismissed for non- prosecution. (U.D.SALVI, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
