This is the second attempt on behalf of the petitioner for grant of regular bail. Earlier, the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected by this Court, vide order, dated 20.11.2019, passed in Criminal Misc. No. 53362 of 2019, giving liberty to the petitioner to move an application for grant of regular bail afresh after nine months.

By order, dated 23.09.2020, a report was called for regarding the status of the trial and in pursuance thereof, learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge -cum- Special Judge, East Champaran, Motihari, has submitted the status report and from perusal of the same, it appears that the trial has commenced and is likely to be concluded within six months.

After having heard learned Counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the trial is likely go be concluded within six months, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

This application is, accordingly, dismissed.

However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for regular bail after six months from today if the trial is not concluded by that time.
