The learned counsel for the applicant submits that this is a successive bail application. The bail was sought on the ground that there was no progress in the trial. The applicant is in jail for two years.

4.

The offence is serious. The wife of the applicant had been killed. Considering the gravity of the offence and the

15-BA.1638-24.odt view of the Supreme Court in the case of State of Bihar and another Vs. Amit Kumar @ Bachcha Rai ; (2017) 13 SCC 751 in such a serious crime the incarceration may not be a ground for bail. Be that as it may, the charges have been framed. So, there is hope that the trial may conclude within a reasonable period subject to co-operation of the accused, the learned counsel for the applicant and learned Public Prosecutor. Hence, bail application stands rejected.
