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, however, considering the fact that he is in custody for about 1 1⁄2 year, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of nine months. At the same time, the S.P., Katihar is also directed to ensure presence of the witnesses in this case on each and every date fixed so that the case may be disposed of within the period as specified. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
