1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3907 OF 2009 Imran Maula Kalawant ........Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ........Respondent. Mr. S.A. Ingale adv. for the Applicant. Mrs. P.P. Shinde APP for the Respondent. CORAM: A. P. DESHPANDE, J. DATED : 06th October, 2009. P.C.: 1. After hearing the learned counsel for the applicant for quite sometime, he does not press the present application, however points out that the applicant is in custody since 2-7-2008. He also submits that necessary directions need to be issued to the Sessions Judge to commence and conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible. It is also pointed out that even the Sessions Judge has observed that prima facie it does appear that the prosecutrix was a consenting party. The age of the prosecutrix as per the certificate issued by the school authorities was 15 years at the time of occurrence of the incident. However according to the opinion of the radiologist based on the medical test, the age of the 2 prosecutrix is 17 to 18 years. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the present case, I am of the clear view that the Sessions court ought to make an endeavour to commence the trial as expeditiously as possible. In the result, I direct that the Sessions Judge shall commence the trial within a period of four months failing which the applicant is granted liberty to file fresh application for bail. Application is disposed of with liberty as prayed for. The applicant to produce this order before the Sessions Judge. (A. P. DESHPANDE, J.)
