1 crwp2162-10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.2162 OF 2010 Vasant Baburao Gurav ..Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. Mr.Kishor Patel for the petitioner. Dr.F.R. Shaikh, APP for the State. CORAM : A.M. Khanwilkar, & U.D. Salvi, JJ. DATE : 30th August 2010. P.C. : 1. The grievance made in this petition is that the discharge application filed by the petitioner has remained undecided since the year 2007. We fail to understand why the said application has been kept pending by the concerned Court where the trial of C.C. No.1111/P of 2003 is pending. We can appreciate if the hearing of the said discharge application has been stayed by any Court of competent jurisdiction. If such impediment is not in place, the trial Court is obliged to decide the discharge application with utmost despatch. 2 crwp2162-10 2. We, therefore, dispose of this petition by directing the Trial Court to decide the discharge application dated 23rd November 2007 filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and in any case not later than eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order, either through Office or as and when produced by the petitioner. 2. The petitioner through counsel undertakes to cooperate with the Trial Court in deciding the discharge application. That assurance is accepted. (U.D. Salvi, J.) (A.M. Khanwilkar, J.)
