JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 4 08-11-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case under [STATUTE] . There is direct allegation that this petitioner inflicted dagger blow on the chest of the deceased by which he succumbed to injury. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial for early disposal of the case preferably within six months. Kundan/- (Gopal Prasad, J.)
