It is brought to my notice by the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor that the trial has progressed substantially and the matter is now at the stage of arguments before the trial Court. If it is so, I see no reason to entertain this bail application. To my mind, the interest of justice would be subserved by directing the trial Court to ensure that the matter is finally disposed of as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months from today. . Application dismissed with the above observations.
