2. This is the third attempt of the petitioner for grant of regular bail.

3. Earlier first application for grant of regular bail of the petitioner was rejected by this court by order dated 13-032023 passed in Cr. Misc. Nos. 62349 of 2022. The second application for grant of bail being Cr. Misc. No. 51425 of 2023 was filed by the petitioner which was again rejected by order dated 10-11-2023 with direction to the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of three months.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that in the last rejection order dated 10-11-2023 passed in Cr.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16935 of 2024(6) dt.19-07-2024 2/2 Misc. No. 51425 of 2023, the trial court was directed to conclude the trial within a period of three months but even after specific direction of this court, the trial has yet not been concluded.

5. On the otherhand, learned counsel for the informant has opposed the prayer for bail submitting that the petitioner himself is creating hindrance in early disposal of the case. It has further been submitted that the prosecution witness as well as defence witness has already been closed. It has further been submitted that the petitioner has filed a petition in the court below with a prayer to call for CDR of mobile of the petitioner only with a view to delay the disposal of the case.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as also the fact that the trial of the case is at the verge of conclusion and CDR of mobile of the petitioner is not necessary for just decision of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and accordingly, the same is rejected.

7. However, the learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial at the earliest.
