Opposite Party ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 4 28-06-2012 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail for offence under [STATUTE] and 27 of the Arms Act. There is allegation of assault by fire arm causing grievous injury in the back of the victim. The petitioner is in jail since 25.02.2011 and the charge has been framed on 18.08.2011, however, it has been reported that in spite of the issuance of the process by the Court not a single witness has been examined as yet. In the report, dated 09th May, 2012, it has been reported that the case is expected to be concluded within six months. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected. If the trial is not concluded within six months, then, the trial Court shall consider to release the petitioner on bail and the petitioner may renew his payer for bail. Let this order be sent through fax at the cost of the petitioner, if deposited. SA/- (Gopal Prasad, J)
