1appa-529-10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION No. 529 of 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL No.291 of 2008 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders. Court’s or Judge’s orders Mr D.G. Khamkar i/by Mrs P.P. Kakade, for the Applicant. Mr K.V. Saste, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM:- A.R. JOSHI, J. DATE :- 6th AUGUST, 2010. P.C.:- Heard learned counsel for the applicant in this application for bail filed by the applicant during the pendency of the criminal appeal in Appeal No. 291/2008. Earlier two bail applications were preferred one after the other. First application was not pressed. Second bail application was preferred before this Court while taking up the criminal appeals. Though nobody remained present for arguing the second bail 2appa-529-10 application, after going through the papers and after taking the assistance of the learned A.P.P. then representing the State, this Court passed the detail order on 8.4.2009 rejecting the bail application. On that day, Criminal Appeal No. 291/2008 was also posted for final hearing. However, none remained present for the appellant. This happened on 8.4.2009 and now much belatedly, after one year and four months, applicant is asking for the bail, without there being any hearing on merits in the criminal appeal. As this Court has already rejected earlier bail application on merits, there is nothing to view the matter differently. Consequently, present criminal application for bail is disposed of with following order. ORDER (i) Criminal bail application is hereby rejected. (ii) By separate order hearing of the criminal appeal is already expedited. (A.R.JOSHI,J) LRS-PA
