1.

The petitioners renew their prayer for bail, which was rejected earlier, on merits, on more than one occasion and lastly on April 18, 2023. There is no change of circumstance since then. We do not see why we would entertain this application for bail.

2.

There are prima facie incriminating materials against the petitioners. The charge is very serious. If convicted, the petitioners may face life imprisonment.

3.

In view of the aforesaid, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

4.

The prayer for bail stands rejected.

5.

CRM (DB) 2385 of 2024 is dismissed.

However, since the petitioners are in custody for about one year and four months, we direct the learned Trial Court to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date but positively within one year from the next date fixed. 7.

Learned Advocate for the State tells us that there are 23 charge sheet named witnesses, but all of them may not be examined.
