Complainant lodged FIR at police station Chakradhar Nagar against unknown person. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the witnesses have not supported the case and the applicant is languishing in jail for a long period, therefore, the application may be allowed. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the applicant and perused the record. 7. Be that as it may, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegations, evidence collected on record and particularly considering that two applications of the applicant decided on merits, therefore, this Court does not find any good ground to allow this application. 8. Accordingly, bail application of applicant is hereby rejected. However, learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within a reasonable period of time. State is also directed to keep their witnesses present as and when directed by the learned trial Court. Sd/- (Sachin Singh Rajput ) Judge H.Ansari
