According to F.I.R., the petitioner and other named accused persons belong to Naxal group. They allegedly demanded ransom for allowing the informant to cut away his paddy crops. On non-payment, one of the Naxals fired, causing injury at the hand of the informant and others cut away the crops. The same Naxal group had committed the murder of the father of the informant, for which Adapur Police Station Case

Submission is that petitioner is in custody since 11.12.2018. Investigation of the case is already complete. The allegation is not specific. Further submission is that co-accused, Ramrup Yadav has already been allowed bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court.

Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner, above named, on bail. Hence, prayer is refused.

The learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within 09 months, failing which the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew the prayer before the court below itself.
