Azmi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Uma Shankar Pd. Singh, learned counsel for the State. The petitioner who is languishing in custody since 21.1.2009, has renewed his prayer for bail in a case registered under [STATUTE] . It is alleged that lastly the victim went in the company of this petitioner. Report of the learned trial court at Flag – X suggests that out of fourteen, four witnesses have been examined till 17.1.2012. Considering the aforesaid facts, I am not inclined to take a different view. Prayer for bail is rejected. However, in case the trial is not concluded within nine months, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Anil/ (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
