We have considered the statements of the witnesses and there are prima facie disclosing involvement of the petitioner in the alleged crime.

In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date preferably within one year without granting adjournment to either of the parties. (Aniruddha Roy, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
