Considering the earlier orders whereby petitioner’s prayer for bail in a case under section 302 and other sections of the IPC was rejected, the prayer for bail is again rejected on merits. The report of the trial court shows that out of 19 witnesses, five have been examined and process have been issued against rest of the public witnesses. According to the trial court, the case may be concluded within four months or as soon as the prosecution completes its evidence. Considering that petitioner is in custody since 23.4.2005, the trial court i.e. Addl. Sessions Judge FTC II, Samastipur is directed to expedite S.Tr.No.487 of 2005 and make efforts to conclude the same within six months 2 from the date of production/ communication of a copy of this order. If the trial does not conclude within the said period for no fault of the petitioner then he will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) sk
