DATE: 11th February, 2009. DATE: 11th February, 2009. DATE: 11th February, 2009. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. This criminal application is taken out for bail. The applicant is convicted for the offences punishable under Sections 489A, 489B, 489C, 489D, 489E and section 420 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer R.I. for ten years. The applicant has preferred the Criminal Appeal No.1074 of 2006, which is already admitted and pending for final hearing. The applicant had also preferred criminal application no.83 of 2007 for enlarging him on bail. However, by the order dated 14th March, 2007, the same was rejected. The applicant could not bring any new circumstance on record except the fact that he has undergone approximately half of the period of sentence. In these facts and circumstances, this is not a fit case to grant bail. However, hearing of the appeal deserves to be :2: expedited. As paper-book and R & P are already received and the appeal itself is ready for final hearing, I, therefore, dispose off the application by passing the following order: i. Application for bail is rejected. ii. Office is directed to fix the above criminal appeal in a week commencing from 13th April, 2009 for final hearing. (R.V.MORE, J.) (R.V.MORE, J.) (R.V.MORE, J.)
