In the matter of : Maharam Ali.

....Petitioner.

Mr. Mazhar Hossain Chowdhury, Ms. Mobashshara Alam.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Prasun Kr. Datta, ld. A.P.P., Mr. Santanu Deb Roy.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for seven years and eight months. He prays for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits trial is at its fag end. Date has been recorded for examination of FSL expert on 06.09.2022.

We have considered the materials on record. There are materials implicating the petitioner in the murder. Trial is at its fag end.

In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials and the matured stage of trial, though the detention of the petitioner is substantial we are not inclined to grant bail to him. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

We, however, direct the trial court to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible

preferably within six months from the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

Copy of the order be sent to the trial court for necessary compliance.
