Not on board, mentioned. 2. Heard learned Counsel for the Appellant and the learned A.P.P for the State. This is an application for fixing the date of hearing on the basis of earlier order passed by this Court to expedite the hearing. It is submitted that the convict is in jail since 2001. We are taking up appeals for prisoners who are in jail in chronological order. No exception can be made in the case of the Appellant for want of any justification as to why his matter should be given preference compared to others who are languishing in jail for longer period of time than the Appellant. Hence, the application is rejected. (SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J.) (SHRI. J.N.PATEL,J)
