No.16786 of 2017 (3) dt.01-05-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and the confessional statement of the petitioner before the police, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, the same is rejected. However, since the petitioner is in custody for ten months, the trial court (S.D.J.M., Mashaurhi, Patna) is directed to expedite the trial in connection with Punpun P. S. Case no. 137 of 2016 of the petitioner and conclude the same as early as possible preferably within a period of one year.
