Thereafter the informant lodged this false case. The trial has not been concluded within six months as per order given by this Court and as such the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration.

In the facts and circumstances stated above, at present finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer for bail, again prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected in connection with Sessions Trial No. 189 of 2016 arising out of Lakhisarai P.S.
