APPLICATION NO.3232 OF 2007. APPLICATION NO.3232 OF 2007. Sunil Annu Shetty. ..Applicant. versus The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. .... Mr. R.R. Mahagaonkar, for the Applicant. Mr. D.P. Adsule, APP, for the Respondent. .... CORAM CORAM CORAM : A.S. OKA, J. : A.S. OKA, J. : A.S. OKA, J. DATE DATE DATE : 24TH JULY,2008. : 24TH JULY,2008. : 24TH JULY,2008. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Advocate appearing for the applicant, who has been appointed to espouse the cause of the applicant. Heard the learned APP for the State. The prayer made in the application sent by the applicant through jail, seems to be for discharge. The affidavit-in-reply filed by the State discloses that the applicant had made an application before the Sessions Judge for discharge and the same was rejected by order dated 6th June 2006. A copy of the said order has been placed on record. After having perused the said order, I am of the view that the learned Trial Judge was justified in rejecting the application for discharge as there was sufficient - 2 - material available to proceed against the applicant. 2. However, the report dated 11th April 2008 discloses that on 27th February 2008, an application was made by the applicant at Exhibit 36 for grant of bail. Though the order of discharge cannot be passed, the Trial Court will have to consider the said application. Hence, I pass the following order :- . (1) The prayer for discharge is rejected. . (2) If the application made by the applicant at Exhibit 36 is not decided by the Trial Court, the same shall be decided as expeditiously as possible. . (3) If the application is already rejected, it will be open for the applicant to adopt an appropriate remedy. [ A.S.OKA, J.] A.S.OKA, J.] A.S.OKA, J.]
