1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4431/2008 Govind s/o Kokal Shinde ...Versus... The State of Maharashtra Through Police Station Officer, Police Station, Lonar, District : Buldana -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's Orders or Court's or Judge's Orders directions and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Shri P.B. Patil, Adv. for applicant] [Shri O.D. Kakde, APP for respondent] CORAM:- A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. DATED :- 12.02.2009 Heard learned Counsel for applicant and learned A.P.P. for respondent. Learned Counsel for applicant argued that the applicant is of the age of 76 years and he is in jail since 21.12.2007. Not only that all other accused numbering nine have been already released on bail and there is no complaint of misconduct against them. According to him, neither the trial is taking place nor he is released on bail. 2 Learned A.P.P. opposed the application and produced case diary before me. Having seen the case diary, I find that the applicant Govind Shinde appears to be the main accused inasmuch as he is the person who inflicted all vital blows on a woman. Though the applicant is of 76 years old, but the fact remains that he repeatedly stabbed the woman and damaged her kidney into pieces because of which she died. Therefore, he cannot be released on bail. However, trial Court can be ordered to expedite the trial. In view of this, I make the following order. Criminal Application is rejected. The trial Court is, however, directed to expedite the trial and complete the same within a period of four months from today. Criminal Application stands disposed of. JUDGE ssw
