Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the criminal antecedent of the petitioner being accused in eight cases of similar nature, this Court is not inclined to grant him bail in this case.

Let the trial be expedited.

The petitioner has already remained in jail for about one year and eight months by now, if the trial is not concluded within a period of nine months from today, for no reason attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail. The application stands disposed of accordingly. (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) avin/- U T Note: The ordersheet duly signed has been attached with the record.
