1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.494 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.265 OF 2010 Nazeem Ahmed Wahid Ahamed Khan .... Applicant. @ Raju @ Aslam V/s State of Maharashtra .... Respondent. Mr. Jagdish Shetty for the applicant. Mrs. M.R. Tidake, APP for the State. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 11TH JUNE, 2010 P.C.:- 1. This is an application for bail. Applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under MCOC Act and other provisions of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for seven years. 2. I am informed that the applicant is in jail since 23/11/2005 and has already undergone five years sentence out of seven years awarded to him. The learned APP has filed affidavit in reply in which she has pointed out that there are as many as 7 cases filed against the present applicant. Though he is acquitted in two cases, five other cases are still 2 pending. 3. Taking into consideration the fact that the applicant is a habitual offender, in my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. Application for bail is dismissed. However appeal is expedited. Appeal be placed on the final hearing board in the week commencing from 5th July, 2010. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
