In the circumstances, having regard to the progress in the trial, the heinous offences, the Court is not inclined to take a different view than what was taken in Cr. Misc. No. 14821 of 2021, when the petitioner's prayer for bail was earlier rejected on 05.10.2021.

This application is rejected with observation that the trial court should proceed in the matter expeditiously without granting any unnecessary adjournment or undue delay, in accordance with law.
