The petitioner wants to renew his prayer of bail, which was earlier rejected vide order dated 17.02.2016 passed in Cr. Misc.

The dead body was recovered on 13.10.2015 which was not in a position to identify, there is no specific allegation against the petitioner and as such the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration. Learned APP opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that the petitioner and others have killed the wife of the informant brutally and further hide the dead body after keeping the same in

In the facts and circumstances stated above, finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer for bail of the petitioner, again his prayer for bail stands rejected. However, learned trial Judge is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible, preferably within six months, failing which the petitioner, if at no fault, may renew his prayer of bail.
