This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Belhar (Khesar) P.S.Case No.364 of 2016 for the offences under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. It appears that during the course of investigation, the petitioner has been named in this case.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the informant is not named the petitioner in the F.I.R. though F.I.R. been lodged after 18 days and one witness has also named the petitioner in subsequent statement. So far other cases are concerned, in those cases, he has been remanded and except that there is nothing against the petitioner.

Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, however, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of nine months and if not concluded, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court concerned itself, who will pass appropriate order considering the materials available on the record at that time.

With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
