Allegation is of recovery of more than 1200 litres of liquor from the vehicle and it is said that the liquor belongs to the petitioner. Apart from that petitioner is an accused in two other cases, both under Excise Act.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has falsely been implicated in this case and in fact nothing has been recovered from the petitioner and he has been in judicial custody since 13.10.2018. It has been also been

Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides, considering the facts and circumstances as well as the criminal antecedent of the petitioner, at this stage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail rather the trial court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial within a period of four months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.

With the aforesaid observation and direction, this application is dismissed.
