DATE : 3RD MAY, 2007. DATE : 3RD MAY, 2007. P.C. . Heard Ms.Anamika Malhotra, learned Counsel for the applicant and Mr.Adsule, learned APP for the State. The applicant, who is in jail since 11th November, 2002 in MCOC Act Special Case No.2/2003 pending on the file of Special Judge Mr. A.M.Thipsay, 15th Court,Sewree, moved this application through jail for expediting the hearing of the case. The reports were called from the concerned Judge about this particular case and also about the other cases under MCOC Act. It appears that while in most of the cases before all the three Judges dealing with MCOC cases, the accused are in jail from 2004 onwards, five accused in once case (Special Case NO. 16 and 16A of 2001) are in custody since July, 2001 and in Special Case No. 2/2003, 4 accused including the [2] present applicant are in jail since November, 2002. Thus two matters need to be given top priority in view of the long period for which the accused are in jail. 2. Ms. Malhotra informed that the trial of the Special Case No.2/2003 is already commenced. 3. In view of the above, the learned Special Judge shall expedite hearing of the Special Case No.2/2003, as well as Special Case No.16 and 16A of 2001 and dispose of the same as early as possible. The application stands disposed off. (J.H. BHATIA, J.) (J.H. BHATIA, J.) (J.H. BHATIA, J.)
