1.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

2.

The petitioner is an accused in a case registered for the offence

punishable under Sections 395 / 397 / 307 IPC and Sections 25 (1-b)a/27/35 of

Arms Act .

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier the petitioner''s

prayer for bail was rejected by this Court vide order dated 02.03.2017

passed in B.A. No. 473/2017. By way of present bail application, the

petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail. The main submission of learned

counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is in judicial custody since

18.08.2016 and the trial has not yet been concluded. At least considering

the length of judicial custody of the petitioner, he may be given the privilege

of regular bail.

4.

Learned A.P.P while opposing the petitioner''s prayer for bail, submits

that earlier the petitioner''s prayer for bail was rejected on merit by this

Court vide order dated 02.03.2017 passed in B.A. No. 473/2017. The

petitioner has not made out any fresh ground for reconsideration of his

prayer for regular bail. The material witnesses including the son of the

informant are yet to be examined in the trial.

5.

Considering the fact that no fresh ground has been made out for

reconsideration of the petitioner''s prayer for bail, I am not inclined to enlarge

the petitioner on bail in connection with S.T. No. 448/2016, arising out of

Govindpur P.S. Case No. 249/2016 (G.R. No. 3296/2016).

6.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above named petitioner is

rejected.

7.

However, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude

the same without any undue delay.
