­ 1 ­ IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION No. 5570 OF 2009 Shashikant Vitthal Hegade ... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Jaydeep Mane, for the applicant. Mr. Dedhia, APP for the respondent. CORAM: V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 16th DECEMBER, 2009 P.C.: . Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. The grievance of the applicant is that though the applicant had filed bail application for bail on 18-11-2008, the said application is not yet decided. It is therefore, submitted that the applicant was constrained to file this application in this Court. The applicant was arrested in connection with the offences punishable under Section 302, 452, 323, 504, 506 read with 34 of I.P. Code and Sec. 135 of the Bombay Police Act, registered vide C.R. No. 155 of 2007 with Mangalwedha Police Station. In my view it would be appropriate if the Sessions Court is directed to decide the pending bail application of the applicant. The Sessions Court, Pandharpur is therefore, directed to decide the bail application of the applicant filed vide Exh. 45 in S. C. No. 7 of 2008 within a period of two weeks from today. 2. The parties to act upon the authenticated copy of this order. [V.M. KANADE, J.]
