If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded with the aforesaid time limit solely due to laches on the part of the prosecution, the petitioner will have liberty to initially move the trial court which then would be under obligation to spell out reasons for not concluding the trial and only thereafter, the petitioner may move this Court with a prayer for bail. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
