Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that this is a case of misuse of privilege of bail, but petitioner is in custody since 3.09.2008 in a case under Section 279 of I.P.C. He was found absent in the year 2000 and he was declared absconder on 15.06.2006 and on the basis of a permanent warrant issued in the case he was apprehended. So a direction to expedite the trial is only sufficient at the moment. Petitioner’s prayer for bail is rejected. In case, trial is not concluded within a period of three months, petitioner will have an opportunity to renew his prayer for bail in the Trial Court itself. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
