At the same time, there was also a request to the learned Trial Court to make best possible endeavour to conclude the trial expeditiously. 3. There are around 49 witnesses and prosecution has so far been able to examine 18 witnesses. 4. Undoubtedly, as per the Nominal Roll received from the jail, the incarceration period is well above seven years which, under normal circumstances, can compel any Court to show compassion but at the same time, the Court cannot turn blind eyes to the numerous previous involvements This is a digitally signed order.

It has also been informed that in the present case when the applicant had been enlarged on interim bail, he did not surrender after the expiry of the interim bail period and was resultantly declared proclaimed offender. 6. The allegations against the applicant are serious in nature as according to the prosecution story, he, in order to take revenge for the killing of his father by the rival gang, killed one Vijay @ Lala. The weapon in question has also been recovered from him and the forensic opinion is also against him. 7. The applicant is also facing trial in one case registered under the stringent provisions of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act 1999, (MCOCA). 8. Keeping in mind the overall facts of the case, this Court does not find any compelling reason to enlarge the applicant on bail, particularly when he continues to be in custody in other cases. 9. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. 10. However, the applicant is given liberty to file the application afresh in case he is enlarged on bail in other cases. 11. The learned Trial Court is, again, requested to expedite the disposal of the trial. 12. Needless to say, the applicant shall also render due assistance and cooperation in this regard to the learned Trial Court. MANOJ JAIN, J JULY 28, 2026/ss/sy This is a digitally signed order.
