Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and in view of allegation as well as criminal antecedents, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of this case and try to conclude it within six months. If trial is not concluded within the said period, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
