Inspite of the petitioner being in custody since 5.7.2021, there is no progress whatsoever in the trial in the learned trial Court. He undertakes to cooperate in the trial on his release on bail. The application for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P for the State and learned counsel for the informant. Learned counsel for the informant states that from the FIR itself it would be evident that the petitioner is the main/sole assailant.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegation in the FIR and the petitioner being the main/sole assailant of the deceased, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and the application is rejected.

Learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial. (Partha Sarthy, J) avinash/shiv U T
