   CORAM:HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HASMUKH D. SUTHAR

                                             Date : 03/08/2026

                                                    ORDER

      After arguing for some time, learned advocate for the
applicant does not press this application.

          Present application stands disposed of as not pressed.

      It is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merits
of the matter.

      However, as learned advocate for the applicant has argued
qua availability of the medical facility at Surat New Civil Hospital,
in case of urgency, the respondent-State authority is directed to
provide the best medical treatment by shifting the applicant
accused to higher center i.e. Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad and time
being shifting the applicant to the Sabarmati Central Jail,
Ahmedabad, if so necessary.

          The trial court is directed to expedite the trial.
