1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3828 OF 2009 Uttam Vasant Kalel ....... Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ........Respondent. Mr. Rananware D.D.adv. for the Applicant Mrs. P.P. Shinde APP. for the Respondent/State. CORAM: A. P DESHPANDE, J. DATED : 01st September,2009. P. C.: 1. The learned APP at the outset points out that the trial has already commenced and two witnesses have been examined. According to the learned counsel for the applicant, the applicant is in custody since March 2008 i.e. almost for a period of one and half years. In this view of the matter the learned counsel for the applicant submits that appropriate direction be issued to the Sessions Judge to expeditiously complete the trial. In the facts of the present case, I have no iota of doubt that necessary direction needs to be issued to the Sessions Judge for expeditious completion of the trial. In the result having regard to the fact that the trial has already commenced i.e. about one year before on 2 23-9-2008 and that the evidence of the complainant is also recorded, I direct the Sessions Judge to expeditiously conclude the trial preferably within a period of three months from today. In this view of the matter the learned counsel is permitted to withdraw the application with the above direction. Application is disposed of. (A. P. Deshpande, J.)
