Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.73903 of 2018(2) dt.17-12-2018 2/2 Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and in the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of 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.
