Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned APP appearing for the respondent. One of the grievances made in this petition is that the learned Sessions Court has postponed the hearing of the bail application filed by the petitioners to 19th July 2008. The case against the petitioners was pending from the year 1995. It is contended that the most of the petitioners were under a bonafide impression that the case was disposed of. The case relates to some agitation against the railways. The offences complained of are under sections 143, 147, 353, 452 of Indian Penal Code and section 37(1)(3) r/w section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. 2. In my view, the Sessions Court ought to have immediately taken up the bail application for hearing. 3. The petition is disposed of by passing following order :- . It will be open for the petitioners to move the pending bail application in the Sessions Court on Saturday, i.e., 12th July 2008 with proper notice to the concerned Public Prosecutor. Considering the peculiar facts of the case, the concerned Court will give priority to the hearing of the bail application and will make an endeavour to immediately dispose of the same. . The Sessions Court to act upon an authenticated copy of this order. [ A.S.OKA, J.] A.S.OKA, J.] A.S.OKA, J.]
