In the said impugned order, the trial Court has given its observation that even after deducting four months time, there was sufficient time to join the investigation by the accused (petitioner herein). Therefore, he failed to comply with the order and no plausible reason has been assigned for nonjoining of investigation in pursuance to order dated 03.07.2023.

This is how the bail application was filed by the trial Court/lower court.
