In view of the above, it is clear that conclusion of the trial will take long time and the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 14.12.2026, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars for an indefinite period which would violate the principle of right to speedy trial and expeditious disposal under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, as has been time and again discussed by the Court while relying upon the judgment of the Apex Court passed in Dattaram Singh vs. State of Uttar Pradesh & Anr., 2018 (2) R.C.R. (Criminal) 131.

In the light of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing of bail bond and surety bond to the satisfaction of concerned Chief Judicial Magistrate/trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
