Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 03. 14.03.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under [STATUTE] . The petitioner was refused bail by order dated 16.08.2011 since the mobile phone in which one of the looted SIMs had been used had been found in possession of the petitioner. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail on the ground that this was an error of record at which the case diary was called for. On going through the case diary it was found that in fact there is material to the facts mentioned above. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
