Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. V. V. Purwant i/by Mr. Gopal V. Bhagat & Mr. S. B. Patil for the applicant. Mrs. R. V. Newton, APP for the State CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 7th July, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Purwant, the learned advocate for the applicant, and Mrs. Newton, the learned APP for the State. 2. Mr. Purwant submits that all the other accused in this case have been released on bail. He pointed out the fact that no weapon or other incriminating articles were found with the applicant when he was allegedly apprehended. I, however, find that the applicant has been previously convicted of the very offences i.e. the offences punishable under sections 399 and 402 of the Indian Penal Code. I am informed that the appeal filed by the applicant against the said conviction is pending and the sentence has been suspended. Apparently, the applicant has committed the alleged offence, thereafter. jpc ba627-11.sxw 2 3. In this view of the matter, it would not be desirable to release the applicant on bail. However, considering the nature of the allegations and the fact the charge sheet has already been filed, the trial can be directed to be held expeditiously. In case the trial is not over within the stipulated time frame, the prayer for bail can be favourably considered. 4. The application is rejected. However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and complete it within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order 5. Liberty to apply afresh for bail, should the trial be not over within that time. (A.M. THIPSAY, J.)
