% 18.03.2016 CRL.M.A. No. 4777/2016 (Exemption) Exemptions allowed subject to all just exceptions. The application stands disposed of.

BAIL APPLN. 598/2016 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant while limiting the prayer in the present bail application to a direction to the Trial Court to expeditiously conclude the trial in relation to the FIR No. 355/2012 dated 15.11.2012 under Sections 302/34 IPC, registered at Police Station- Jyoti Nagar, Delhi, seeks leave to withdraw the present bail application. Leave granted.

It is trite to state that it is the constitutional right of every accused to be tried expeditiously particularly when his personal liberty in infringed as a consequence of delay in the conclusion of the trial. In the present case, it is observed that most of the prosecution witnesses have been examined and that the trial is now fixed for 25th May, 2016 for recording the testimony of the remaining prosecution witnesses.

In view of the foregoing, whilst dismissing the present bail application as withdrawn, the Trial Court is directed to conclude the trial in the subject FIR expeditiously and preferably within a period of six months from the next date of hearing i.e. 25th May, 2016 without granting any unwarranted adjournments to counsel appearing on behalf of the parties.

With the above directions, the present bail application is disposed of. SIDDHARTH MRIDUL, J MARCH 18, 2016 sd
