Heard learned A.P.P. who opposes the prayer for bail. Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and statement of the informant under Section 164 Cr.P.C., which has been annexed with Annexure-2 to this petition, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, as the petitioner is in custody since 04.06.2018 the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude the same within a reasonable period as fixed.

With the aforesaid observation, this petition is accordingly dismissed.
