1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3102 OF 2009 Venkapa Hanumant Dhotre ,........ Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ........Respondent. Mr. Jitendra M. Patil adv. for the Applicant Mr. H.J. Dedhia APP. for the Respondent/State. CORAM: A. P DESHPANDE, J. DATED : 23rd September,2009. P. C.: 1. After hearing the learned counsel for the applicant for quite sometime, he does not press the application, however points out that the applicant is in custody since more than one year and hence urges that direction be issued with a view to expedite the trial. In view of the fact that the applicant is in custody for one year, I deem it appropriate to direct the Sessions Judge to expeditiously proceed to commence the trial and conclude the same as expeditiously as possible. I hope and trust that the Sessions Judge will commence the trial within a period of four months from today. In the event if the trial does not commence in four months, applicant is granted liberty to move fresh application. (A. P. Deshpande, J.)
