Considering the present stage of trial, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, their payer for bail is rejected in connection with Bhagwanpur (Belaon) P.S. Case No. 89 of 2020 pending before the court of the learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Kaimur at Bhabua.

Accordingly, the application is dismissed. However, Trial Court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible within a period of six months from the date of initiation of normal physical proceeding and /or through Video Conferencing. Petitioners are also at liberty to renew their prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within the stipulated period as aforesaid.
