Heard Sri Deep Chandra Joshi, learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Amit Bhatt, learned Addl. GA for the State and also perused the record. In brief, the prosecution story is that on 19.9.2007 at about 4:45-5:00 PM the applicant-accused alongwith four other accused persons committed dacoity of Rs.88,641/- in the bank. At the time of committing dacoity the applicant-accused and co-accused also committed murder of K.K. Gairola, employee of the bank.

After considering all the facts and circumstances; on hearing learned counsel for the parties; on perusal of the contents of the FIR and the other documents available in file, I do not find any ground to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is accordingly rejected. However, the trial court is directed to decide the trial of the case expeditiously. (Dharam Veer, J.) 15.12.2009 RG
