Let the defect(s) be removed within two weeks of the complete start of the physical Court in normal course. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with S.T. No. 1019 of 2019, arising out of Kankarbagh P.S.

The petitioner is in custody since 07.09.2019. Mrs. Asha Devi, learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner and submits that petitioner is a habitual and more than seven cases are pending against him as such he does not deserve to be released on bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and long line of criminal cases pending against the petitioner in which he has been made accused almost similar allegation has been made in all those cases, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of regular bail is rejected.
However, the learned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial expeditiously. (Purnendu Singh, J) manish/- U T
