Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondents and another Mr. Subhash Jha i/by Mr. Subhash Hulyalkar for the applicant Mrs. S.D.Shinde, APP for the State CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 21st July, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Subhash Jha, the learned advocate for the applicant and Mrs. S. D. Shinde, the learned APP for the State. 2. The learned APP, on instructions, states that the trial has already commenced and as many as seven witnesses have already been examined. She also informs that the next date of hearing of the case is 2nd August, 2011. 3. It appears that the trial is likely to be over within a short time. It is not that there exits no prima facie case against the applicant. When the applicant is in custody since quite some time, I am not inclined to release him on bail, at the stage when the trial appears to be coming to an end. 4. The application is rejected. (A.M. THIPSAY, J.)
