The petitioner seeks bail in Charpokhari P.S. Case No. 76 of 2006, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in jail for the last seven and half years but the trial has not yet been concluded.

Considering the fact aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above named on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
The learned Additional Sessions Judge V, Ara, who is in seisin of S.Tr. No. 14/2016, is directed to expedite the trial and hold the same on day to day basis and conclude the trial of the petitioner along with S.Tr.
