... Petitioners.

Mrs. Subhasree Patel, Ms. Puja Mahapatra.

...for the Petitioners.

Mr. D. Chatterjee, ld. A.P.P., Ms. Debjani Dasgupta.

...for the State.

Petitioners are in custody for 130 days. They renew their prayer for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. He submits trial is in progress.

We have considered the materials on record. Post mortem report shows physical torture on the deceased who was in the family way. Statements show petitioner had tortured her prior to her death.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is rejected.

Trial court is requested to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date preferably within one year from the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. (Ajay Kumar Gupta,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
