This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Chhatauni P.S.Case No.113 of 2017 , registered for the offences punishable under Sections 379 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is that he has committed theft of the money informant Rs.1,95,000/- along with the one co-accused and on seeing the same the informant chased them and one of the co- accused succeeded in fleeing away but the petitioner was arrested by the informant and other witnesses. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that nothing has been recovered from his possession and he has been falsely implicated in this case and now he has remained in

Having heard both sides and in view of allegation, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of five months and if not concluded, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court concerned.

With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
