KANADE, J. DATE: DATE: DATE: 28th March, 2006 28th March, 2006 28th March, 2006 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for bail. The applicant is charged for having committed an offence punishable under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code. Initially, the applicant was released on bail. However, he did not remain present on the number of dates in the Sessions Court and, therefore, his bail was cancelled. Therefore, non-bailable warrant was issued and he was produced before the Court. The accused contended that he was not well and therefore he could not remain present. This excuse was not accepted by the Court and his application dated 14/11/2005 for bail was rejected. Therefore, another :2: application was filed. The second application was also rejected. Therefore, he preferred a third application. This was also rejected. The Sessions Court observed that charge has been framed and 8 witnesses have been examined and the case is likely to be over within a short time. This order was passed on 14/2/2006. Since the trial is practically over, in my view, no case is made out for grant of bail. However, the Sessions Court is directed to expedite the case and decide it if possible within 2 months. 3. Application is disposed of. V.M. V.M. V.M. KANADE, J. KANADE, J. KANADE, J.
