Petitioner is in custody for 218 days. He prays for bail. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner was one of the masterminds who abducted the victim and demanded ransom. Bail prayer of the petitioner was reject earlier on merits. Under such circumstances, 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.
