Heard Mr. Vivekanand Vivek, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Chandra Sen Prasad Singh, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case for offences punishable under Section 302 and some other allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code. According to the prosecution case, two persons have been killed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that informant is not an eye witness of actual occurrence of assault upon the deceased persons. Learned counsel for the State submits that in course of investigation, witnesses have claimed to have seen the actual occurrence. A report was called for by this Court about the status of the trial, which has been received and kept at Flag- ‘X’. According to the report, out of sixteen P.Ws., nine P.Ws. have already been examined. Be that as it may, in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to accept the prayer for bail made on behalf of the petitioner. Accordingly, the same is rejected. 2 However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If by that time, trial of the petitioner is not concluded and there is undue delay of the trial, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. m.p. (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
