...for the State.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. He submits trial is at its fag end.

We have considered the materials on record. Date has been fixed for arguments before the trial court. Offences, if proved, would attract mandatory life imprisonment. 4.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

6.

We request the trial court to conclude the trial at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
