1 Cr.W.P. 617.2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET No. CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 617 OF 2010 [Ankush S/o Rajendra Kale VERSUS The State of Maharashtra] Mr. M.P. Tripathi, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. V.D. Godbharle, APP for the respondent-State Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's Orders P.C.:- 1. Heard. 2. The Petition is filed after five years of rejection of the Application by learned Adhoc Additional Sessions Judge in Criminal Misc. Application no. 35 of 2004. The order dated 21.2.2005 is being impugned by way of the present Writ Petition. The impugned order is not final one because custody of the truck vehicle is to be restored to the petitioner on the ground that Sessions case against one of the accused is pending. The truck vehicle was allegedly used by the petitioner and other co- 2 Cr.W.P. 617.2010 accused for transportation while decamping with the booty. 3. The Petition suffers from inordinate delay and laches. The petitioner has alternate remedy of seeking custody after disposal of the Sessions case pending against the co-accused or to seek the same by filing Appeal. Hence, the Petition is disposed of. The trial of the Sessions case is, however, expedited and the Sessions Judge is directed to complete it within six months. Sd/- DT. : 01.10.2010 [V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] arp
