1. Heard learned lawyers for the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier on merits. He does not stand on the same footing with the co-accused who have been enlarged on bail. Offences, if proved, would attract mandatory life imprisonment.

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

4. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected.

5. Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date.
