1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE Criminal Application No.2779 of 2008 Sameer Deshpande @ Tayyab Sattar Kazi Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr.Uday Warunjikar for applicant. Mr.P.P.Shinde, APP for State. CORAM: D.B.BHOSALE, J. October 20, 2008. P.C. . Heard Mr.Warunjikar, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Shinde, learned APP. . The applicant has prayed for bail in C.R. No.596 of 2007 of Swargate Police Station, Pune. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under Sections 363, 366-A, 376, 354, 506(II) and 507 of IPC. I have perused the FIR and other material placed before me. The applicant, who is 29 years old, has allegedly committed rape on a school girl of 16-17 years old at the point of knife. It is true that there is a delay in lodging the FIR. It is also true 2 that there was an affair between the prosecutrix and the applicant and it had started 2-3 years ago i.e. when the prosecutrix was hardly 14-15 years old. Looking to over all facts and circumstances of the case, in my opinion, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the application is rejected. The Sessions Court shall endeavour to dispose of the trial expeditiously and preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt of this order.
