IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.184 OF 2009 Manoj Dinkar Vichare ...Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent --- Shri A.R. Pitale for Applicant Mrs. M.H. Mhatre, APP for State ---- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED 28TH JANUARY, 2009 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The Applicant has been arrested in connection with an offence punishable under section 307 r/w. 34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3 and 25 of the Indian Arms Act. 3. The prosecution case is that the Applicant and one other person had entered the shop of the Complainant and fired one bullet from his revolver, as a result of which, the Complainant and other person were greviously injured. The Applicant was arrested and the test identification parade was held, in which, the Applicant has been identified. 4. It is submitted that there is an inordinate delay in conducting the test identification parade. The said test identification parade has not been held in accordance with the guidelines laid down under the Criminal Manual and, therefore, identification of the Applicant itself was doubtful. 4. Initially, the Applicant was arrested in connection with the C.R. No. I-40 of 2007 and, thereafter, he was transferred and arrested in connection with the C.R. No.162 of 2006. In the present case, there is sufficient material on record, which implicates the present Applicant, the person, who had fired one round from his revolver, as a result of which, the Complainant and one other person were greviously injured. The question of doubtful test identification parade will have to be considered at the time of trial. Application for bail is, therefore, rejected. 5. Since the Applicant is in jail from 3.3.2007, the hearing of the trial is expedited. The trial Court shall dispose of the case, as expeditiously as possible within a period of six months. V.M. KANADE J.
