This is third attempt made on behalf of the petitioner for grant of regular bail.

The present application, under Section 439 read with Section 440 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, has been filed in view of the observation made by this Court vide order, dated 10.08.2016, passed in Cr. Misc. No. 32636 of 2016, whereby, the petitioner was granted liberty to renew his prayer for regular bail after framing of charge. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.52830 of 2016 (2) dt.14-12-2016 2/2 charges have been framed for the offences punishable under Sections 307 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code. I do not consider it fit to entertain this third application for regular bail. It is, however, observed that the learned trial Court shall make efforts to expedite the trial. If there is no substantial progress in the trial within a period of six months from today, the petitioner shall be at liberty to make prayer for bail before the learned court below.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
