16.06.2022 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (DB) 1797 of 2022 sl no. 70 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Hanskhali PS case no. 141/2018 dated 16.5.2018 under sections 448/302/120B IPC read with sections 25(1)(a)/27 of the Arms Act And In Re : Mr. Jatin Roy ........ petitioner Mr. Debangan Bhattacharjee Ms. S Saha Mr. R Sinha ...... for the petitioner Mr. N Ahmed Ms. Ayantika Roy ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for 1400 days. It is submitted that he has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that trial is in progress.

We have considered materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the alleged murder. Trial is in progress.

In view of the aforesaid facts, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date preferably within six months from the next date fixed before it for recording evidence without granting adjournments to either of the parties.
