It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. As per prosecution version, the applicant co-accused persons have made false allegation of theft against the deceased and they forcibly took him away and assaulted him. Referring to facts of the matter it was submitted that there is no credible evidence against the applicant. The first bail application of applicant was rejected by this Court vide order dated 14.10.2020 and Trial Court was directed to expedite the proceedings and to proceed in accordance with provision under Section 309 Cr.P.C. The second bail application of applicant was rejected vide order dated 19.02.2024 and Trial Court was again directed to expedite the trial and to conclude the same preferably within a period of nine months. Despite repeated directions of this Court, the trial has not been concluded so far. However, all the material witnesses have been examined before the Trial Court. The P.W.-2 Mahendra Yadav has not supported the prosecution version and turned hostile and there are contradictions in the statement of P.W.-1 Sri Krishna Yadav @ Lalu Yaadav. The applicant is in jail since 29.01.2020 and thus, he has already undergone detention of more than five years and trial of the case is likely to take sufficient long time. It was stated that applicant has no criminal history and in case applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail application and submitted that first and second bail applications of applicant have already been rejected. 5. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and all attending facts, particularly the period of detention, without expressing any opinion on merits, a case for bail is made out. Hence, the present third bail application is hereby allowed. 6.
