The State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri A.M. Rizwy, Advocate for Applicant. Shri D.P. Thakre, APP for Respondent. Coram : R.M. Borde, J. Dated : 26 nd July, 2010 The counsel appearing for the accused in the Trial Court sought time for preparing himself to argue the matter and requested the Court to hear the arguments on the adjourned date. The Trial Court has turned down the request on the ground that there are directions issued by the High Court requiring the Trial Court to dispose of the criminal case expeditiously. I have heard respective counsel appearing for the parties. It would be in the interest of justice to grant a week's time to the counsel for the accused in the Trial Court to prepare himself for arguing the matter before the Trial Court and it was a quite reasonable request made by the counsel for the accused and the same ought to have been considered by the Trial Court. The present application can be disposed of by directing the Trial Court to grant one week's time to the counsel for the accused for advancing his arguments in the matter. The learned counsel for the applicant makes a statement that his counter-part in the Trial Court would be informed to advance the arguments before the Trial Court on 5-8-2010. The Trial Court shall, after hearing the counsel for the 2 accused on the relevant date, decide the matter in accordance with law. In view of these directions, the instant application stands disposed of. Hamdast allowed. Judge. pdl.
