CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR,J CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR,J CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR,J DATE : APRIL 15, 2008. DATE : APRIL 15, 2008. DATE : APRIL 15, 2008. P.C. : P.C. : P.C. : 1. Heard learned APP. 2. This Application for bail is filed by the convict through jail. Appeal preferred by the Applicant is already admitted on 20th September, 2007. It appears that the Appeal is due for hearing. However, the same is not included in the final hearing board as of now. Significantly, the Applicant has already undergone imprisonment for a period around 2 years and five months excluding remission. As the sentence is short sentence and the Applicant has already suffered 50% of the punishment imposed by the lower Court, in my opinion, it is appropriate that the Registry is directed to include 2 the main Appeal itself for hearing in the weekly list commencing from 21st April, 2008. As per the weekly board already notified, in all probability the main Appeal would appear at Sr.No.15A(215A). In the event the Appeal does not ripe for hearing till end August, 2008, the Applicant may be free to apply for bail afresh. 3. This Application is disposed of on the above direction.
