:1: IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL REVN. APPLICATION NO. 22 OF 2005 Manoj Hiranand Karamchandani ... Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr. P.N. Wagh, for the Applicant. Mr. B.H. Mehta, A.P.P., for the Respondent. ... CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR,J. 14th February 2005 P.C.: . Heard. I find no reason to depart from the approach adopted by the Court below for the reasons recorded in para 2 of the impugned order. It is obvious that the Applicant has succeeded in prolonging the proceedings since 2002 by not paying bhatta inspite of sufficient opportunity given. Even on the relevant date, the Applicant - accused and his Advocate remained absent, :2: though the concerned P.W.5 and P.W.7 were present in the Court. No indulgence is warranted. Dismissed.
