4. The petitioner is the assailant of the informant and is in jail since 24.07.2023. The injuries have been found upon the injured. It appears that the petitioner is also accused in a case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

5. Considering the serious allegation against the petitioner and the fact that he had shot at the victim causing gun shot injury on a trivial issue, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.

7. The Court below is directed to expedite the trial.

8. If the trial is delayed because of the laches on the part of the prosecution, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
