Heard the learned A.P.P for the State. The Respondent is an accused in a case registered under the provisions of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act, 1999. On 06th January, 2006 an Application was made before the learned Special Judge for grant of police custody remand. By order dated 06th January, 2006, the said Application has been rejected. This order has been challenged by filing this Application under section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. 2. The submission of the learned A.P.P is that looking to the gravity of allegations and seriousness of the crime, the learned Special Judge ought to have ... 2 ... granted police custody remand as earlier police custody remand was granted only four days. 3. Considering the nature of allegations against the Respondent, I prima facie find substance in the submissions made by the learned A.P.P. However, the order has been passed eleven months back and after such a long lapse of time, prayer for police custody remand cannot be considered. Only on this ground, the Application is not entertained and the same is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
