In view of the aforesaid report of the learned trial court, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 577 of 2013, arising out of Yogapatti P.S. Case No. 257/2012, pending in the court of the learned Ad hoc Addl. Sessions Judge IV, Bettiah, West Champaran, is again rejected.

The trial court may proceed with the trial even by taking the trial of the petitioner on day-to-day basis.
