Versus Martand Ramchandra Pokharkar and 11 Ors. ..Respondents. .... Mr.H.J.Dedia, APP, for the applicant. Mr.Ashok B. Tajane, Adv. for the respondents. .... CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 24th July, 2008. DATED : 24th July, 2008. DATED : 24th July, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned APP for the applicant-State and the learned Advocate for the respondents-orig.accused. 2. Being aggrieved by the order dated 6.3.2007 passed by the Adhoc Sessions Judge-7, Pune, this revision has been filed by the State. The said order was passed in Sessions Case No.273 of 1998. By the impugned order the learned Sessions Judge rejected the application for adjournment moved on behalf of the prosecution and the learned Sessions Judge directed the prosecution to secure the presence of the Investigating Officer on the next date. It is ..(2).. seen that the case is of the year 1998. Charge was framed on 15.3.2000. Thereafter evidence was recorded. In the said case the complainant, eye witnesses, doctors and panch witnesses have been examined. On 6.3.2007 the matter was kept for examining the remaining eye witnesses. However, on that day no eye witness was produced nor any report was filed for service of witness summons nor any officer or constable of the concerned police station remained present when the matter was called out. It is seen that the case is very old one. Sufficient opportunity was granted to the prosecution to secure the present of the witnesses. Despite this, presence of the remaining eye witnesses was not secured. Looking to this fact, no fault can be found in the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge whereby he rejected the application for adjournment. Moreover, in the present case it is seen that all the material witnesses have been examined. The case is a very old one. Hence, I see no reason to interfere with the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge. Criminal Revision Application is rejected. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
