Allegation against the petitioner is of firing on Pramod Chaudhary.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the F.I.R. itself shows that the petitioner was caught and the firearm was snatched from him but nothing happened with the petitioner appears to be doubtful. It has also been submitted that from the seizure list it appears that no any arms has been recovered from possession of the petitioner. It has further been submitted that

Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides, in view of the allegation of firing against the petitioner and the injury is grievous in nature, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

Learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and conclude the same within nine months. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within nine months from today.
