KANADE, J. DATE : 3rd September, 2010 P.C.:- 1. This Petition is filed for extension of time to decide the criminal case which is pending in the Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, 37th Court at Esplanade, Mumbai. 2. The Division Bench by an order dated 10th July, 2008 was pleased to direct the learned Magistrate to decide the 2 (CRWP 1202/2010) case expeditiously within one year. In my view, it would be appropriate if the explanation is given by the learned Magistrate as to why the said case could not be heard and decided within one year. Therefore, application for extension should be made by the learned Magistrate. Hence, it is not possible to entertain this Writ Petition. 3. Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
