For the Applicants. Ms P.H.Kantharia, APP for the Respondent/State. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : NOVEMBER 26, 2010 2 P.C. 1 All these bail applications are filed by the different accused persons facing trial in Sessions Case No.660 of 2008, which was previously pending before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Court Room No.13 at Sewree and which is now assigned to the same learned Judge now sitting at Bombay City Civil Court, Fort. 2 The learned counsel for the applicants makes a statement that earlier by order dated 8.5.2009, this Court while disposing off the bail applications had given opportunity to file fresh bail applications if the trial is not concluded within six months from that date. The learned counsel fairly concedes that trial is in progress and about 100 witnesses are already examined and according to the prosecution, four more witnesses including the Investigating Officer are to be examined. 3 In view of the above circumstances, it will not be desirable to grant bail at this stage, therefore, applications stand disposed off with the following directions: (i) Applications stand rejected. However, the learned Additional Sessions Judge presiding over the trial of Sessions Case No. 3 660 of 2008 is requested to expedite and dispose off the sessions case as early as possible. (J.H. BHATIA,J.)
