JUDGMENT :

Dr. Neela Gokhale, J.

1. The present proceedings are peppered with a chequered history. The quintessential thrust, however, is on the Petitioner's grievance of being incarcerated for more that seven and half years for offences for which he claims to have undergone the maximum sentence. The protest of the Petitioner against his prolonged incarceration traveled up to the Apex Court by way of separate Special Leave Petitions against Orders passed by this Court rejecting his Bail Application/s as well as on admission of the present Petition on a limited issue. All the SLP's were dismissed albeit with certain observations/directions. In reference to the Special Leave Petition against the Order on a limited admission of this Petition, the Supreme Court vide its Order dated 1st April 2024 granted liberty to the Petitioner to make submissions on all reliefs claimed in this Petition. We were requested to consider all the submissions made on merits and dispose off this Petition expeditiously considering the long incarceration of the Petitioner. In this backdrop, the matter was taken up for final disposal.

2. Vide Order dated 5th September 2023, this Petition was admitted only in term
