Full Judgment
23. 01-2012 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The prayer for bail of the petitioner had twice earlier been rejected by this court. In this case, a report from the trial court was called for regarding the stage of the trial and also the time likely to be taken in its conclusion. The report so called for has been received mentioning therein that the trial is likely to be concluded within three months. Learned counsel submits that the trial is yet pending and has not been concluded. Considering the earlier order rejecting the bail application and the report of the trial court, I am not inclined to consider the prayer of the petitioner and the same is rejected. The application is dismissed. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial. ahk (Jyoti Saran, J)
