1 (Appln 4714 of 2010) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4714 OF 2010 Bablu @ Chandrakant Matadan Shukla ..Applicant vs. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent ----- Mr.Niranjan Mundargi i/b. Ms. Bhakti Deshpande & Mr.L.M. Shukla for Applicant ----- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED: 1ST FEBRUARY, 2011 P.C. 1. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant submits that this is a second application for bail. The first application for bail was rejected by this Court by order dated 1st April, 2009. It is submitted that the trial has begun. However, almost more than 2 years have passed but the trial is not yet over. He submitted that if the direction is given to the Trial Court to expedite the hearing of the trial, he would not press this application for bail. 2. In my view, since the trial has already begun, it would be appropriate if the Sessions Court is directed to 2 (Appln 4714 of 2010) expedite the hearing of the trial and dispose of the sessions case as expeditiously as possible and, in any case, within a period of four months from the date of the order. Criminal application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE J.)
