Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for bail.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.33676 of 2017 (2) dt.26-07-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and in view of allegation as well as the fact that he has made his own confession, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

However, as the petitioner is in custody for more than one year, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within nine months and at the same time Superintendent of Police, Banka is directed to ensure the presence of the witnesses in court on the date fixed so that the trial be concluded within the said period.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
