3. Prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail was rejected twice by this Court. This is the third attempt.

4. On 19.7.2024, a report was called for from the trial Court with regard to present stage of trial as well as expected time to be taken in its conclusion. The trial Court has submitted its report from which it appears that out of five witnesses, two witnesses have been examined and the trial Court has mentioned

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 50934 of 2024(3) dt.25-09-2024 2/2 that all efforts shall be made to conclude the trial within two months. The report of the trial court is dated 29th July, 2024.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during this period only one witness has been examined and still two witnesses are left to be examined.

6. Learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail and submits that there is no fresh ground to consider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail.

7. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage since no fresh ground has been made out.

8. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail is once again rejected.

9. The trial Court is directed to take all efforts to conclude the trial positively within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
