Shri R.P. Joshi, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. B.P. Maldhure, A.P.P. for the respondent. CORAM : Mrs. V.K. TAHILRAMANI & PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. MARCH 10, 2011. Heard both sides. The applicant is seeking bail mainly on the ground that he has already undergone 6 years and 3 months of imprisonment. The learned counsel for the applicant has placed reliance upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Kashmira Singh vs. The State of Punjab, reported at AIR 1977 SC 2147, to contend that if the accused person has undergone substantial period of imprisonment then he should be released on bail. Shri Joshi, learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the appeal is listed way down on the final hearing board, therefore, there is no possibility of the appeal being heard soon, hence, the applicant may be released on bail. The appeal preferred by the applicant is already on the final hearing board, in our opinion, the appeal can be 2 disposed of within a week from today, hence, we are not inclined at present to grant bail. Liberty is granted again to move for bail if the appeal is not disposed of by 17th March 2011. The application is disposed of with aforesaid liberty. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
