Mrs.G.P.Mulekar APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 7.2.2006. PC 1. The Advocate for the petitioner states that the only relief she is pressing is for a direction to the trial Court to decide the discharge application which has been filed by the applicant in the trial Court on 19.10.2000 and for further relief that the case which is pending since the year 1996 i.e. for a period of 9 years, should be directed to be completed in a time bound schedule. The grievance is made that though the discharge application is made on 19.10.2000 the State has not even bothered to file a reply. After hearing the learned APP for the State, it is directed that the reply : 2 : should be filed within a period of 3 weeks by the State and discharge application will be taken up forthwith for hearing and decided within a period of 8 weeks from today. The hearing of the trial is expedited and if the petitioner is not discharged, the same may be taken up and decided expeditiously and in any case by the end of September-2006. With these directions application stands disposed of. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
