Since the learned counsel for the State submits that trial shall conclude within two months from the next date of evidence fixed before the learned Trial Court, the learned Trial Court is directed to take the proceeding to its logical conclusion, as expeditiously as possible without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties, in accordance with law.

The application for bail is accordingly disposed of. Case diary be returned.
