The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mr.H.S.Deshpande, Advocate, for the Applicant Mrs.P.H.Kantharia, APP, for the Respondent - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2010 P.C. . This is an application for bail by applicant/accused who is in jail for the last 2 and ½ years. The learned APP opposes the application on the ground that the trial has already commenced and one witness has been examined. If that is so, it is not clear us why trial cannot be completed within a week. It is the grievance of the learned Counsel for the applicant that the Session cases are not heard on day to day basis. The Sessions Judge would obviously not create confusion by opening several Session cases at the same time 2 Appln 1415-10 and he would also note that it would be better to take up the matter on day to day basis for hearing and complete the hearing preferably within a week. If there is some difficulty in securing presence of witness on the date on which the matter is fixed, the witness could be summoned in the next week. The learned APP states that she would instruct the prosecutor in charge in the trial Court as also the investigating officer to ensure that the witnesses are kept present on the date on which the case is fixed for hearing. The learned Sessions Judge, before whom the trial is being conducted would also take up the matter on day to day basis and complete it maximum within a period of two weeks in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. 2.
