(DB) 1222 of 2023 sl no.62 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Nowda P.S case no. 60 of 2022 dated 19.3.2022 under sections 306/385/471/506 IPC and sections 66C/67 of the IT Act And In Re : Ayub Khan ........ petitioner Ms. Simran More Mr. R V Kundalia ...... for the petitioner Ms. Faria Hossain Mr. Anand Keshari ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody or more than two years. It is submitted there is delay in trial. He prays for bail Learned lawyer for the State opposes the bail prayer. We have considered the materials on record. It is alleged petitioner had uploaded obscene pictures of the victim on social media. He had also impersonated himself as a police officer attached to CBI. Out of shame the victim committed suicide. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected in March 2022. Trial is in progress.

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

Hence, application for bail is rejected.

Trial court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible preferably within one year form the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

Parties shall communicate the order to the trial court for necessary compliance.
