1 cr.wp.1952.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Criminal Writ Petition No. 1952 of 2010 Ehtesham Qutobuddin Siddiqui ....Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent Mr. Ayaz Khan-advocate for the petitioner. Dr. F.R.Shaikh-APP for the State. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND P.D.KODE, JJ. DATED:- OCTOBER 18, 2010. P.C. The principal relief claimed in this Petition received through jail is for discharge from CC No. 79/P/2003 and 80/P/2003 pending in the 11th Court, Kurla, Mumbai. We are of the opinion that the Petitioner cannot seek relief of quashing two separate proceedings by way of one Petition. Nevertheless, we would proceed to consider the grievance of the Petitioner filed through jail. It appears that although charge sheet has been filed in the concerned Court in the respective criminal case, copy thereof has not been furnished to the Petitioner. If the same was done, it is possible that the Petitioner may consider of filing Application for discharge before the concerned criminal Court. 2 cr.wp.1952.10 2. In the circumstances, the prayer for discharge cannot be entertained by way of present Petition. Instead, we direct the Respondent – State to furnish copies of the charge sheet to the Petitioner in the concerned criminal cases within two weeks from today. After service of charge sheet, it will be open to the Petitioner to take recourse to the remedy before the concerned Court for discharge, if so advised. Those proceedings will have to be decided on its own merits. 3. Insofar as the grievance of the Petitioner that he has not been produced before the concerned Criminal Court is concerned, he is free to make that Application before the said Court. At the sametime, it will be open to the Respondent State to make appropriate Application before the concerned Court amongst others because the Petitioner is an accused in bomb blast case which trial has to get precedence. Such Application to be filed by the State, will be considered on its own merits by the concerned Court. 4. Petition disposed of on the above terms. 5. Court expresses word of gratitude for the able assistance given by the 3 cr.wp.1952.10 Advocate for the Petitioner as amicus curiae. 6. Copy of this order be forwarded to the Petitioner who is in jail. (P.D.KODE, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
