BA-447-11.sxw 1 Dixit IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.447 OF 2011 Aajinath @ Buttya Kaluram Kamble ... Applicant V/s. State of Maharashtra, Thru' Yerwada Police Station, Pune ... Respondent Mr. S.M. Mirajkar for the Applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 11 TH JULY, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. No copy of the Charge-Sheet is annexed to the Bail Application. However, by going through the papers, which are available with the learned APP for the Respondent, I have ascertained the nature of case against the Applicant. 3. There exists a strong prima facie case against the Applicant. 4. The only contention that is advanced in support of the Bail Application is that the Applicant is in custody since the year 2006. Undoubtedly, this period of pre-trial detention is considered as too great. However, I am informed that the trial has already commenced. The Applicant had not previously approached this Court BA-447-11.sxw 2 Dixit for bail, though there has been a delay in the holding of the trial. Releasing the Applicant on this ground, when the trial is about to commence or has already commenced, would not be proper. 5. The Bail Application is rejected. 6. However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and complete it, in any case, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of this order. [A.M. THIPSAY, J.]
