And In Re : Sushanta Mondal ..... petitioner Modammada Khairul Mohammad Irfan ... for the petitioner Mr. Madhusudan Sur, learned APP Mr. Manoranjan Mahata ... for the State Heard the learned Counsels for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses show that the victim was lynched by a mob. Petitioner was a member of the said unlawful assembly and assaulted the victim. Trial is in progress. Under such circumstances we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
