1 Cri-A-1549-10.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Mhi CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1549 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 50 OF 2011 Mr. Sajanali Mohd. Salim Shaikh ... Applicant/orig.accused No.1 Vs. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Ms. Anjali Awasthi,Advocate, for the applicant. Mrs. V.R.Bhonsale, APP, for the respondent - State. CORAM: J.H.BHATIA,J. DATE : 18th March, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard. The appeal filed by the applicant is already admitted. 2. The learned Counsel for the applicant pointed out some discrepancies in the FIR and the oral testimony of the complainant. The applicant was convicted for the offence under Sec. 392 read with Sec.397 IPC and was sentenced to undergo R.I. for seven years. By this application, the applicant seeks to be released on bail pending the appeal. 3. The learned APP contends that besides this case, there were as many 2 Cri-A-1549-10.sxw as 18 criminal cases registered against him for theft, robbery, cheating, etc. as per the instructions given to her. In view of these circumstances, I find that it will not be desirable to grant bail to him, but at the same time, it will be necessary to expedite the hearing of the appeal. 4. Therefore, this application for bail stands rejected. However, the hearing of the appeal is hereby expedited. The trial Court shall submit the paper book as well as the R & P of the case within three months and the appeal shall be listed for final hearing thereafter. (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
