Chamorshi Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Shri S. S. Tambulkar Adv for applicant. Shri Thakre APP for State/respondents. CORAM: A. P. BHANGALE J. Dated: 17 th FEBRUARY, 2010. Applicant is facing serious accusation of having been found in possession of counter fake 27 currency notes in denomination of Rs.100/-. On that ground his plea for bail was rejected by the learned Additional Sessions Judge Gadchiroli by order dated 23.03.2009 in the Sessions Case No. 119 of 2008. Learned Advocate contended that applicant is in jail since 19 months and trial is not likely to be completed. Therefore applicant may be granted bail. However, according to the learned APP trial 2 will start early and summonses are already issued to the accused who were granted bail in the trial Court. According to the learned APP trial is delayed only because those accused who were granted bail are not attending the Court. It is for the prosecution to move the trial Court if terms of bail are violated by co-accused so as to cancel their bail. The trial Court shall endeavour to dispose of the Sessions Trial as early as possible. Since the present applicant is under trial prisoner copy of this order be furnished to learned Presiding Officer of the Court of Sessions at Gadchiroli. Learned Advocate for the applicant states that co-accused are not attending the trials since they were released on bail, if that is so the learned trial Judge can take appropriate steps to compel their presence before the Court and adopt steps such as cancellation of bail, notice to sureties etc. to avoid delay in the trial. Application is rejected. JUDGE svk 3 4 5 6
