1 cri-wp-331-2010 srk IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Criminal Writ Petition No.331 of 2010 Shri Rajan Sitaram Kulakrni Petitioner Vs. Shri Jeevan A. Shingavekar & ors. Respondents Mr.D.S.Joshi for petitioner. Mrs.M.M.Deshmukh, APP for State. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, JJ. July 13, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard Mr.Joshi, the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner prays for directions to add respondent no.1 and respondent no.3 as the additional accused in RCC No.193 of 2005. 2. Admittedly on completion of investigation, charge-sheet has been 2 cri-wp-331-2010 filed on 7/3/2005 against Shri Ratan Sitaram Kulkarni, who is the brother of the petitioner, Shri Appa Kurlkarni and Shri Prashant Kulkarni. Charges have been framed by the trial Court on 14/11/2006. 3. It was submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the manager of respondent no.2 – Bank and respondent no.3 who is the employee of respondent no.4 connived with the main accused Shri Ratan Kulkarni in defrauding the petitioner and, therefore, they are required to be added as accused so that they would face the trial. 4. As the charges have already been framed, it would be appropriate that the issue of addition of accused is left to the trial Court under Section 319 of Cr.P.C., if the evidence placed before it so warrants. 5. Hence the petition is disposed with directions to expedite the trial if the same is pending. (SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
