direction to dispose the trial within a period of three months, from the date of receipt of copy of the order. Another petition Crl.O.P.(MD).No.13033 of 2023 filed by the petitioner was also dismissed by this Court. Since the petitioner is in custody for more than one year, Order passed under Act - 14 was quashed against the petitioner. Trial also commenced in this case. Seeking bail this petition is filed for the third time. 3.In this regard, a report was called from the trial Court with regard to the stage of trial. Report was also received stating that Nodal Officer was examined in Chief. But the petitioner did not cross examine him. Without cross examining the witnesses this petition has been filed before this Court seeking bail for the third time, without giving proper reason for non examination. This shows his attitude.

Considering the contradictory statements of the accused, this court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The petitioner is not entitled for bail. 4.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. The trial Court is directed to complete the trial, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
