Petitioner who is in custody since 30.09.2015 seeks bail in Dulhin Bazar P.S. Case No. 141/2015, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 302 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. Earlier the petitioner has filed application for grant of regular bail three times. This is the fourth attempt. Lastly, the application of regular bail of petitioner was rejected vide order dated 28.03.2018 passed in Cr. Misc. 11977/2018 with a direction that trial be expedited and concluded preferably within four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Report was called for about the stage of trial vide order

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.59266 of 2018 (4) dt.19-11-2018 2/2 dated 09.10.2018 which was received by the office (kept at flag 'A'). From the report, it appears that eight witnesses out of eleven prosecution witnesses have been examined. The trial is at its fag end.

Considering the fact, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above-named on bail at this stage. The trial court is directed to conclude the trial within six months and if same is not concluded, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. (S. Kumar, J) Vinita/- U T
