Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... Shri A.S. Mardikar, Adv. for applicant. CORAM : A.P.BHANGALE, J. DATED : 10 th August, 2010. By this application, the learned counsel for the applicant contended that despite order passed by this Court for expeditious trial, one year has lapsed, but there is no commencement of sessions trial. Learned counsel for the applicant, therefore, placed reliance upon Smt.Akhtari Bi -vs- State of M.P. reported in 2001 Cri.L.J. 1727 and argued that in view of long delay in disposal of the sessions case, the applicant is entitled to apply for bail. Furthermore, it is his fundamental right, in view of Article 21 of the Constitution of India to have a speedy trial. Despite order passed by this Court while rejecting earlier bail application by this applicant, one year has lapsed. Since 6th August, 2009, there is no commencement of the sessions trial, although the trial court was expected to hear the case as early as possible. Under these circumstances, I direct learned trial Judge 2 concerned with this case dispose Sessions Trial No.16/2009 within a period of three months from the date of this order, failing which the learned trial Judge shall release the applicant upon conditional bail on his own satisfaction. Application disposed of accordingly. JUDGE Khunte
