1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Application No.998 of 2010 (Vinayakrao Anandrao Gawande v. State of Maharashtra and others) Office Notes, Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's order Shri J.B. Gandhi, Advocate, holding for Shri B.K. Gandhi, Advocate, for Applicant. Smt. I.L. Bodade, Advocate for Respondent No.1. Coram : R.M. Borde, J. Dated : 16 th July, 2010 The applicant is raising exception to the order passed by the learned 2 nd Judicial Magistrate First Class, Akola, on 7-5-2010, below Exhibit 90 in complaint bearing S.C.C. No.4215 of 2006. An application tendered by the applicant/original accused for clubbing two criminal cases bearing S.C.C. Nos.4215 of 2006 and 4216 of 2006 together for conducting a joint trial has been turned down by the Trial Court. The Trial Court, while turning down the request made by the applicant/original accused, has recorded that the parties in both the complaints are different. Apart from this, it is also recorded by the Trial Court that the plea of the accused was recorded on 20-4-2007 and the complainant had adduced evidence in the year 2007 itself. Thereafter the application filed by the original accused requesting the Court to dismiss the complaint was rejected. Said order was also subjected to challenge by preferring applications before this Court being Criminal Application Nos.3376 of 2009 and 3375 of 2009. While disposing of the said criminal applications, the Trial Court was directed to decide the complaints expeditiously. It is also recorded by the Trial 2 Court that the accused had sought adjournment vide application Exhibit 89 and after refusal by the Trial Court to grant adjournment, the instant application is filed. In these circumstances, I am of the view that the reasons recorded by the Trial Court are reasonable and proper and do not call for interference in exercise of jurisdiction vested in this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The application is devoid of substance and the same is, therefore, rejected. Judge. pdl.
