In compliance of the order dated 19.06.2026, a report dated 30.06.2026, with regard to the present stage of trial has been received. From perusal of the aforesaid report, it appears that case is fixed for argument. It is further reported that trial is likely to be concluded within a period of two months. 5.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 23.01.2025, without any rhymes or reason, having no criminal antecedent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no likelihood of the trial being concluded in the near future, hence, petitioner may be enlarged on bail.

6.

Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for grant of bail.

7.

There is no new ground to consider the bail petition of the petitioner. From the aforesaid report, it appears that the trial is going on and is at an advance stage. 8.

In view of the above, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is again rejected with a direction to the court below to expedite the trial and conclude the same expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from today. If the trial is not concluded within the period of two months, as stated above, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer before
