Heard learned APP and perused the record which has been called for earlier by a Co-ordinate Bench from which it appears that the learned Trial Court has assured to conclude the trial within the period of eight months.

However trial court i.e. learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ara, Bhojpur is directed to take up the cases of the petitioner on regular basis and try to conclude it within a period of six months. If it is not concluded, petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) SONALI/Niraj U T
