DATED : 11-08-2021 The applicant, who is in custody since 27-2-2019, is making this third attempt to seek bail. The first attempt failed since this Court was about to dictate the order of dismissal and the application was withdrawn. The second attempt failed since it was brought to the notice of this Court that the earlier application was withdrawn when this Court was about to dismiss the application.

2.

It is not even the case of the applicant that there is any change in circumstance as would warrant a re-look at the entitlement to bail. The only submission is that since the applicant is in custody since 21⁄2 years, the trial be expedited. The submission is reasonable. Even

2 ba 678.2021 otherwise, the trial Court is expected to expedite the trial since the applicant who is the sole accused is in custody. While dismissing this application, the learned trial Court is requested to expedite the trial.

3.

If there is no significant progress in the trial in the next six months, the applicant shall be entitled to apply afresh before the learned Sessions Judge on the ground of delay in trial and if, such application is moved, the same shall be considered on its own merits.

4.

The application is disposed of in aforestated terms.
