Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr.A.P.Mundargi with Mr.Shounak Mehta for the applicant. Mr.J.P.Yagnik A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 11TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 11TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 11TH NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.101 of 2007 of Vishnunagar police station, Thane. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 307, 326, 341 r/w 34 of the IPC and under sections 37(a) and 135 of the Bombay Police Act. 3. It is alleged that on 3.1.2007 at 11.15 p.m. the applicant and two others assaulted the deceased - Janardhan Parab, his wife and one Prakash Kadam ruthlessly, in which attack the father of the complainant died and his mother and Prakash Kadam 2 2 2 sustained grievous injuries including fracture of skull bone. I perused the statements of the complainant and both the injured witnesses. Their statements are consistent. All the three witnesses have specifically attributed overt act to all the three accused. Prima facie, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. However, looking to the age of the applicant and the other accused I deem it appropriate to issue directions to the trial Court to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. The application is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
