JANUARY 11, 2011. P.C. This application has been moved with a prayer to release all the four applicants on bail and purportedly on the main ground that the rival parties i.e. the accused party and the complainant party have compromised all the pending disputes. 2 cri-appa-1553-10 Both the parties had filed against each other complaints which resulted in the trial in Sessions Case No. 126 of 2001 and Sessions Case No. 87 of 2003. In Sessions Case NO. 126 of 2001 all the nine accused came to be convicted and Sessions Case No. 87 of 2003 resulted in an acquittal of all the accused. The order of conviction and sentence passed in Sessions Case No. 126 of 2001 is a subject matter of challenge in Criminal Appeal No. 476 of 2007, which has been admitted by this court. Accused Nos.7,8 and 9 came to be enlarged on bail by allowing Criminal Application No. 584 of 2007 after the appeal was admitted and subsequently accused no. 5 has been enlarged on bail in Criminal Application No. 90 of 2008. Whereas accused no.6 has been enlarged on bail in Criminal Application No. 1098 of 2008. Thus, accused nos. 5 to 9 are presently on bail and the four applicants are undergoing the sentence. Mr. Paranjpe also submitted that accused no.1 is about 61 years of age. We are not inclined to consider the prayer of the applicants for being released on bail and instead we are inclined to hear the pending appeal on any given date as soon as the paper book is ready. Hence, the application is rejected. Paper book is expedited. 3 cri-appa-1553-10 Liberty to apply for fixing early date of hearing as soon as the paper book is ready. (U.D. SALVI, J.) (B. H.
