Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail. Having heard both sides, considering the fact and circumstances of the case and nature of allegation, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, his application for regular bail is, accordingly, rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of six months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the trial court shall release the petitioner on bail to his own satisfaction. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sunil/- U T
