Mr.S.K.Naikwade, learned counsel for applicant. Mr.P.P.More, learned APP for State CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J. DATE : 27/07/2010 PER COURT : 1. The applicant is an accused in CR No.338/1996, in which after completion of investigation, charge sheet was filed before C.J.M. Beed, and it was numbered as RCC No.182/1997 in which initially the applicant was released on bail, but as during the pendancy of the trial before the trial Court, complainant expired, under the bonafide belief that as the complainant is no more, the trial shall not proceed further, the applicant never attended the Court since year 1998. All the procedure was completed by the trial Court to secure the presence of the applicant, like issuance of warrant, NBW, proclamation but unable to trace the applicant accused. It is contended that in the year 2010, applicant suo-motu appeared before the Court, and was taken in custody on 07/06/2010. Thereafter, he 2 has applied for bail, but considering his absence of more than 12 years before the court, his application was rejected. The said order was challenged before the learned Sessions Judge in revision, wherein also the order passed by the Lower Court was confirmed, hence now before this Court for his release on bail. 2. This court also do not feel it safe to release the applicant on bail, as he was absconding for more than 12 years and later on even if suo-motu surrendered before the Trial Court, there is no guaranty, if released on bail, he will face the trial. It is informed that nearabout all the prosecution witnesses are examined in the said case and only the Investigation Officer remain to be examined. Keeping in mind this fact, application for bail stands rejected. However, learned C.J.M. Beed is hereby directed to dispose of the trial on or before 31/08/2010. In case the trial will not dispose of till then, liberty to applicant to move this Court for necessary orders. Parties to act on the authenticated copy of this order.
