Mr. DM Kale, APP for respondent. CORAM:- R. Y. GANOO, J. DATED :- 09TH SEPT., 2009. 1. It is noticed that the detenue/accused Lalit Ishwardas Khurana who is presently lodged in Nagpur Central Jail is addressing letters to the Registrar of this Court and latest letter is dated 21/8/2009. A perusal of the said letter goes to indicate that three cases of the applicant are pending at three different Courts namely : Additional Sessions Judge at Chandrapur, Additional Sessions Judge at Ballarpur and Additional Sessions Judge at Warora, Distirct Chandrapur. 2. On perusal of earlier correspondence, as well as letter dated 21/8/2009, it appears that the applicant wants to claim that he has suffered detention for a period more than 50% of his total jail term which could have 0909crn82.09.odt 2/3 been imposed upon him. On the basis of the letter, it is not very much clear as to for which offence he has been tried and on the material on the basis of which he has been prosecuted as an accused. 3. In the peculiar circumstance, it would be proper to send copy of this letter to the Principal Sessions Judge, Chandrapur who can be directed to send copy of the said letter to three Judges before whom the matters are pending so that the concerned Judges can hear the applicant through an Advocate if already appointed, the concerned prosecutor and pass appropriate order. If necessary, the said Judge can ask the Superintendent of Jail to produce the accused before him. Hence, the following order.: The Registry of this Court shall forward a copy of letter dated 21/8/2009 addressed to this Court by Lalit Ishwardas Khurana to Principal District & Sessions Judge, Chandrapur, who, shall upon receipt of the same, will send copy of the said letter dated 21/8/2009 to each of the Court as above 0909crn82.09.odt 3/3 where the cases of applicant Lalit are pending. Upon receipt of copy of the said letter by respective Judge, the respective Judge shall peruse the charge sheet which is pending against the said applicant/accused and shall after hearing the learned Advocates in the said case, pass appropriate orders so far as the release of the applicant on bail or otherwise, if such release is permissible in accordance with the provisions of law. If necessary, the presence of the applicant be secured from the Jail to complete the process of hearing. Criminal application No. 82 of 2009 stands disposed of in above terms. A copy of this order be sent to the Superintendent, Central Prison, Nagpur who will deliver the same to the applicant-Lalit Ishwardas Khurana. JUDGE wwl
