Mr.Amit Dhawan, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioner has filed this second petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.81 dated 18.05.2015 under Sections 365, 302, 201 and 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Division No.7, Jalandhar.

Notice of motion was issued. Learned State counsel appeared and contested the petition.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. From the record, I find that as per allegations of the prosecution, complainant's brother Ranjit Singh Pawar came from England to Amritsar on 08.05.2015 and to bring him, Baldev Singh Deol had gone, Vineet Gulati 2017.08.10 16:17 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRM No.M-15305 of 2017 -2who had already came to India but till date, the brother of the complainant did not come to him and the complainant made many efforts but nothing could be known. The present petitioner has been nominated during investigation.

Learned State counsel argued that it is a case of circumstantial evidence and 16 witnesses out of 31 witnesses have already been examined. From the record, I find that first bail application of the petitioner has already been dismissed by this Court on merits and no new ground has been shown for grant of bail.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case and in view of the nature and gravity of the offence, I do not find it a fit case where petitioner is entitled to benefit of regular bail. Therefore, finding no merit in the present petition, the same dismissed. However, learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial by giving short adjournments and if required, even day to day adjournments.
