for defence evidence.

Considering the nature of allegations and the

materials on the record, this Court is not inclined to release the

petitioner on bail particularly when the trial itself is likely to be

concluded very soon. The trial court is expected to proceed with

the trial on day to day basis, no unnecessary adjournment be

granted to any of the parties and all endeavours be made to

conclude the trial within a period of four months from the date

of start of physical functioning of the court.

If the trial still remains unconcluded for no reason

attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail.

The application stands disposed of accordingly.
