In his report, the learned Judge has, inter alia, stated that the total six prosecution witnesses have been examined till date. At present, the case is fixed for prosecution evidence for rest of the witnesses. It is further stated that the Court will take all efforts to expedite the trial and disposal of this case within three months with cooperation of the prosecution and the concerned lawyer of this case. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for bail is hereby once again rejected.

The learned Trial Court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three months. If the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
