Cr. Misc. No.M-24972 of 2016 [2] From the record, I find that the FIR in the present case has been registered on the statement of Harbhajan Singh. As per the allegations, the present petitioner by taking out pistol from his `Dabb' fired three shots on Gurjeet Singh alias Manga and one shot hit on his head and he fell on the ground.

The petitioner is the main accused and further more the trial is also complete and the case is stated to be fixed for defence evidence. Keeping in view the serious allegations levelled against the present petitioner, nature and gravity of the offences, I do not find it a fit case where the present petitioner is entitled to the benefit of bail. As the petitioner is in custody since 10.2.2012, the trial Court is directed to decide the case expeditiously preferably within two months by giving short adjournments and even by giving day to day adjournments, if necessary.

With these observations, the criminal miscellaneous petition is dismissed.
