Counsel for Applicant :- Dinesh Kumar Mishra Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Ramesh Sinha,J.
Heard Sri D.K.Mishra, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri I.P.Srivastava, learned counsel for the complainant and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
The first bail application moved on behalf of the applicant was rejected on merits by this Court vide order dated 4.12.2014.Thereafter the second bail application moved on behalf of the applicant was dismissed for want of prosecution on 2.9.2016. This is the third bail application moved on behalf of the applicant.
The new ground which has been argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is languishing in jail since 9.8.2014, the trial has not yet been concluded and only five only five prosecution witnesses have been examined by the trial Court.
Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the first bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court on merits and the deceased died within seven months of her marriage.
Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and considering the submission advanced, I find no good ground for grant of bail to the applicant-Manoj Kumar involved in Case Crime No.457 of 2014, under Section 302 I.P.C., Police Station Hapur Kotwali, District Ghaziabad.
Accordingly, the bail application is rejected.
However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the aforesaid case and conclude the same within preferably a further period of six months from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, if, there is no legal impediment.
Applicant is directed to produce a certified copy of this order before the trial Court concerned for its compliance.
