Versus STATE OF GUJARAT -------------------------------------------------------------- Appearance: MR MEHUL SHARAD SHAH for Petitioner MR HH PATEL APP for Respondent -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE A.L.DAVE Date of decision: 23/02/2000 ORAL JUDGEMENT Rule. Mr. H.H.Patel, learned APP waives service of rule Heard Mr. Mehul Shah, learned advocate for the applicant and Mr. H.H.Patel, learned APP for the respondent. It transpires that an application for joint trial tendered in the criminal cases pending before the Metropolitan Court on 2.1.98 and heard on 28.11.98 is yet not decided. Considering that the stake involved is high, the said application deserves to be expeditiously decided. The concerned Metropolitan Magistrate is therefore directed to decide that application in accordance with law at the earliest preferably before 15th March, 2000. Rule is made absolute accordingly. Direct service permitted. [A.L. DAVE, J.] ***** pirzada/-
