Case Note & Summary
On 17 February 2005, the Bombay High Court, Criminal Appellate Jurisdiction, took up Criminal Revision Application No.57 of 1993. The applicants, Govind Vishwanath Karche and another, were represented by Mr. Prasad Rane, instructed by Mr. R.V. More. The State of Maharashtra and another were the respondents, with Mr. D.R. More as Additional Public Prosecutor for Respondent No.1. The applicants' counsel made a request for adjournment, i.e., to keep the matter back, on the ground that Mr. D.R. More, the Additional Public Prosecutor, was held up in another court. The Court, noting that the matter pertained to the year 1993, observed that the request for adjournment could not be acceded to. However, upon Mr. Rane's assurance that he would work out the matter if given time until Monday, the Court deferred the hearing to the week commencing 21 February 2005. No substantive order on the merits of the revision application was passed, and the proceedings remained purely procedural. No legal issues were argued or decided. The order was per curiam with no detailed reasoning.
