5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that this is the second attempt of the petitioner for grant of bail. He mainly submitted that the petitioner has been languishing in jail since 19.08.2024 and there is no significant progress in the trial nor there is any likelihood of conclusion of trial in near future and therefore, petitioner may be released on bail. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

6. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

7. As per the report dated 26.08.2025 sent by the learned court below, it appears that charge has been framed on 08.08.2025 and the trial is at the stage of prosecution evidence.

8. Having considered the submissions made on behalf of the parties, this Court finds no fresh ground to reconsider the matter which has already been decided on merit by this Court as also taking into account the present stage of trial, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

9. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner is, hereby, rejected.

10. Learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
