Mrs.A.A.Mane, APP for respondent/State. CORAM: SMT.R.P.SONDURBALDOTA, J. DATED: 18TH FEBRUARY, 2009. P.C. : 1. Heard counsel for both sides. 2. On 7th October, 2008 the applicant herein who is original accused no.1 in C.R.No. MECR No.15 of 1998 filed an application for further investigation under Section 173(8) Cr.P.C. The applicant complains that, that application is being adjourned by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate without any reason. Therefore, he filed two applications for pre-poning the date of hearing, copies whereof are annexed at Exhibit-A and B. The first application was dated 17th January, 2009 and the 2nd is dated 3rd February, 2009. Even these applications have been adjourned ostensibly for filing say by the respondent-state. One wonders what say would be filed by the State for pre-poning the date of hearing of the application dated 7th October, 2008. 3. In the circumstances, the application is allowed. The learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, 19th Court, Esplanade, Mumbai is directed to hear the application dated 17th January, 2009 filed under Section 173(8) Cr.P.C. and dispose the same off within a period of 4 weeks from today i.e. on/or before 18th March, 2009.
