Further submission is that demand is concerned, the allegation against other accused persons and he is in custody since 2.3.2017.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36015 of 2017 (3) dt.04-09-2017 2/2 Heard learned APP and learned counsel for the informant, who have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail stating that several incriminating articles have come during investigation against the petitioner, which has been dealt with by the learned Sessions Judge in his impugned order. Having heard both sides and in view of facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner by conducting it on day to day basis and try to conclude it within nine months as learned counsel for the informant undertakes before this Court that informant will cooperate in disposal of the case. With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
