Learned counsel for the applicant submits that while rejecting the first bail application vide its order dated 26.09.2023 this Court had specifically directed for expeditious disposal of trial, but till date that trial is still proceeding and has not come to its logical end. Learned counsel has drawn attention of the Court to the order dated 18.03.2021 passed by the concerned trial, wherein it has been observed by the trial that since informant's counsel does not support in examination in chief therefore, proceeding of cross-examination is being started. Thus, it has been argued that there is delay on the part of prosecution and there is no likelihood that trial be concluded in near future. The applicant is in jail since 22.09.2020. 5. Per contra, learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for bail by contending that the said order dated 18.03.2021 of the trial court was passed prior to the first bail rejection order of this Court, which cannot be examined at this stage.
