**** ANOOP CHITKARA, J.

FIR No.

Dated Police Station Sections 21.08.2023 Kharar, Distt. SAS 307 IPC and 25 & 27 of Arms Nagar Act 1.

The petitioner incarcerated in the FIR captioned above, has come up before this Court under Section 483 BNSS 2023 seeking regular bail. 2.

Counsel for the State strenuously opposed the bail on the grounds that petitioner is a gangster and there is no change in circumstances after rejection of earlier petition. 3.

After arguing for considerable time, when this Court was not inclined to grant bail, counsel for the petitioner submits that he be permitted to withdraw the present petition and prayed for direction to the trial Court to decide the case expeditiously. 4.

Generally, this Court does not interfere in the roster of the trial court but considering the allegations against the petitioner that petitioner is a member of criminal gang and needless to say that cases of the gangsters must be taken up on priority as exceptional, more particularly in this part of India vis-a-vis the ground realities, this court is requesting the concerned trial court to make all endeavours to expedite the trial and decide the case on or before 31.12.2025. It is clarified that this order speeding up the trial ANJU RANI 2025.07.17 14:36 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Punjab and Haryana High Court Chandigarh

CRM-M-58061-2024 is subject to the condition that neither the petitioner shall seek any adjournment nor try to use any tactics to delay the trial. If he does so, this order of expediting the trial shall stand automatically recalled by resorting to Section 403 read with 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, [BNSS], without any further reference to this court. If any of the accused is on bail and fail(s) to attend the trial without any sufficient cause, then they be dealt with strictly but in accordance with law. However, considering the petitioner's right to speedy trial coupled with the pre-trial incarceration, it is clarified that if the trial is not concluded till 31.12.

2025, and if the delay is not attributable to the petitioner, then the petitioner may file an application for bail before the trial court, which shall not reject the bail on merits but shall decide it on delay in trial. Further liberty is granted to the petitioner to approach this Court, if need arises. It is clarified that this relaxation is subject to the condition that neither the petitioner shall seek any adjournment nor try to use any tactics to delay the trial.

Petition disposed of as withdrawn in aforesaid terms. All pending applications, if any, stand disposed.
