Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.78064 of 2018(3) dt.13-02-2019 2/2 falsely implicated in this case due to land dispute. There is general and omnibus allegation against the petitioner. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent and is in custody since 04.06.2015. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

However, as directed by this court in Cr. Misc. No. 24941 of 2018 by order dated 16.01.2019 trial court is directed to conclude the trial within time as granted by said order and if same is not concluded petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. (S. Kumar, J) Rajiv/- U T
