For the Informant : Ms. Usha Kumari Singh, Advocate ….. 2 21.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and the informant. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that only the evidence on behalf of the prosecution has been closed till date in the trial concerned. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in jail custody since 13.03.2007. Learned counsel for the State submitted that it is manifest from the FIR that the petitioner is the main assailant, who had fired upon the deceased. Learned counsel for the informant submitted that it is clear from the order of the Additional Sessions Judge itself that the case has been fixed for final argument. Having regard to the gravity of the offence and the fact that the petitioner is stated to be the main 2 assailant, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. This application is, accordingly, dismissed. However, the trial court is directed to take steps for expeditious disposal of the trial concerned. SC ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
