1 (Cr.appln2951/10) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2951 OF 2010 Shabbir Ahmed Habib Khan .... Applicant. V/s State of Maharashtra & Ors. .... Respondents. Mr. Subhash Jha i/b Law Global for the applicant. Mrs. P.P. Bhosale, APP for the State. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 3rd August, 2010 P.C.:- 1. It appears that the only grievance made by the applicant in this application is that though he had filed an application for anticipatory bail in the Sessions Court, Thane in January, 2010, his application is pending for the last eight months. It is submitted that a direction may be given to the Sessions Court to dispose of the application for anticipatory bail expeditiously. 2. I had asked the learned APP to make inquiry and find out why the said application was not disposed of. The learned Counsel for the applicant has produced a copy of the roznama. It appears that since March, 2010 the Court which was hearing this application was vacant and therefore the 2 (Cr.appln2951/10) matter was adjourned from time to time. 3. Under these circumstances, in my view, it would be appropriate if the Presiding Officer of the Sessions Court is directed to dispose of the application expeditiously within a period of 4 weeks from today. Order accordingly. 4. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
