Considering the fact that the trial is progressing and prosecution is taking steps for examination of all the witnesses and also considering the huge amount of recovery, this Court finds no ground to review its earlier order. 5. Accordingly, this application is dismissed again with direction to the concerned court below as well as the Superintendent of Police to expedite the trial and if the trial is delayed after bifurcation of the case or arrest of the Jaynto Das, then the petitioner may renew his prayer of bail. tusharika/- (Sandeep Kumar, J) U T
