Learned counsel for the petitioner submits

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.8555 of 2015 (2) dt.11-03-2015 that by now the petitioner has remained in custody for more than two years and the trial of the case is at an early stage. Till date only charges have been framed. Be that as it may, for the reasons assigned in my order dated 09th October, 2013 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 20855 of 2013, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, since the petitioner is in custody for over two years, the learned Additional Sessions Judge I, Patna City is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible.
