1 cri.appln 729-2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 729 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 486 OF 2008 Shankar Baburao Shevale ...Applicant vs. The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Mr.Khan Abdul Wahab for the Applicant. Mr.Y.S. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM : B.H. MARLAPALLE & U.D. SALVI, JJ. JUNE 28, 2011 P.C. :- 1 Heard Mr.Abdul Wahad, the learned Counsel for the applicant. 2 The applicant has filed Criminal Appeal No. 486/2009 which has been admitted. He has been sentenced to suffer RI for life. 3 He approached this Court in Criminal Application No.1189/2008 and it was rejected on merits as per the Order dated 14th November, 2008. 2 cri.appln 729-2011 Thus, this is the second bail application. 4 Mr.Khan submits that the applicant is in jail for the last more than four years and therefore, at least his criminal appeal be listed for final hearing. 5 So far as change in the circumstances is concerned, we do not find any merit so as to entertain the second application. On the prayer for fixing early date of hearing, we must point out that there are about 400 criminal appeals (jail) pending for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 and unless these appeals are heard and decided, it would not be appropriate to list this criminal appeal of the year 2008 for final hearing at this stage. 6 Hence, the application is rejected.
