Ms.Glady Pareira-Mahimkar, Advocate for the Applicant. Ms.P.P.Shinde, A.P.P., for the Respondent/State. ............... CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. Dated 25th August, 2009. PC:- 1 After arguing for quite sometime, the learned counsel for the Applicant seeks permission to withdraw the application. She has submitted that the Applicant is in custody since September, 2008 i.e. for a period of about one year and the trial has yet not commenced. She further submitted that there is hardly any material available against the Applicant for seeking conviction. 2 Having regard to totality of the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that the trial needs to be commenced expeditiously. In the result, I direct the Sessions Court to commence the trial as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from today. In the event if the trial is not commenced within three months from today, liberty is granted to the Applicant to apply *2* for bail. 3 The Application is dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid direction.
