The State of Maharashtra ..Respondents Mr.D.G.Khamkar for the Petitioner. Mrs.P.H.Kantharia, A.P.P.for the State. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED : MARCH 2ND, 2009. P.C. The Petitioner has been convicted for the various offences including section 394 of I.P.C. Under which he has been given life imprisonment. It is stated that he is already in Jail since last 11 years. He was convicted in the year 2000. 1 Since then he was in jail and not aware of the remedies. He could not file appeal and/or bail application since the year 2000. He filed Appeal in 2007 which is registered as Appeal No.828 of 2007. The Bail application has been rejected on 3rd October, 2008. We feel that since the Petitioner was convicted in the year 2000 and he could not file Appeal for obvious reasons therefore this appeal needs to be decided at the earliest as if it has been filed in 2000. The Appeal filed in the year 2000 have already been decided by this Court. Therefore, the Appeal may be listed for hearing on 12th March, 2009. 2. The Criminal Application is, accordingly, disposed of. (BILAL NAZKI,J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.) 2 3
