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, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of nine months and once substantive progress is made in the trial, petitioner may renew her prayer for bail before the court below itself, which will be considered on the basis of materials available on record. With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
