(2.) MR . Ghaisas, who is appearing for respondent Nos. 1 to 6 herein, informs the Court that the accused have filed Criminal Appeal No. 19 of 1993 in the Court of the Additional Sessions Judge, Pandharpur, and that appeal cannot be disposed of, since the record and proceedings has been called by this Court, after the Criminal Revision Application No. 58 of 1994 was filed by the applicant/original complainant Changuna @ Vaishali Vilas Bagal. He, therefore, prays that the record and proceedings be sent back to the Sessions Court to enable the learned Additional Sessions Judge to dispose of the criminal appeal.
(3.) IN view of this position, the criminal revision application has become infructuous, since the criminal appeal is pending, and since one does not know what would be the outcome of the said appeal, Hence, the following order : Criminal Revision Application No. 58 of 1994 is disposed of, as being infructuous. Rule discharged. Record and proceedings be sent back forthwith to, the Sessions Court, Pandharpur for expeditious disposal of the Criminal Appeal No. 19 of 1993.
