For the State: Mr. Upendra Kumar, APP 2 17.12.2008 Heard. Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 302 of the Penal Code read with Section 27 of the Arms Act. The informant in this case is own mother of the petitioner. Allegation is that petitioner fired killing his father. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody since 01.12.2005. It has further been submitted that although the trial of this case has been taken up but no substantial progress has been achieved as only two witnesses have been examined. Considering the allegations and the fact that the trial of the case has commenced, this court, for the present, is not inclined to admit the petitioner to bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. Considering the period of incarceration in the present case, this court is persuaded to observe that the trial court shall take all necessary steps to conclude the trial on or before 30 of April, 2009 failing which the petitioner is granted liberty to renew his prayer for bail before this court.
