1 appa11211 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 112 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1190 OF 2008 Jaywant Krishna Koli ...Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Ms. Bhakti Deshpande for the Applicant Mr. H.J. Dedhia, A.P.P., for the State. CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR AND A.R. JOSHI, JJ. DATE: 8TH FEBRUARY, 2011 P.C.:- At the outset, the counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant would not press the prayer for bail, as the earlier application preferred by the applicant for bail came to be rejected on merits, and which order was confirmed even by the Hon'ble Apex Court. Learned counsel, however, submitted that the applicant would be more than content if the hearing of the appeal were to be expedited. 2 appa11211 2. Insofar as this request is concerned, it is not possible to accede thereto, inasmuch as, as per the present assignment, every appeal covered by category "Convicts in Jail" is treated as expedited case and is listed for hearing chronologically. At present, appeals falling under category "Convicts in Jail" of year 2002 are included in the Final Hearing Board. It will not be possible to allow the applicant to jump that queue, as the applicant's appeal pertains to year 2008. The argument of the learned counsel is that the applicant is the sole earning member of the family, and his father is also suffering from serious ailment. Such reason is available to almost every appellant who is waiting since 2002 for hearing of his appeal. If the situation so warrants, it is open to the applicant to avail of furlough leave or parole facility, which is available in the specified situation. We express no opinion on that matter. If the applicant moves the Appropriate Authority for releasing him on parole or furlough leave, the said application will have to be decided on its own merits, in accordance with law. 3. The learned counsel for the applicant now submits that, in that case, the applicant may like to persuade this Court to release the applicant on bail. We find no merit in this submission, as it is not a case of changed circumstance, which would warrant entertaining successive 3 appa11211 bail applications. Hence, this application is disposed of on the above terms. A.R. JOSHI, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.
