DEEPTI JHA Digitally signed by DEEPTI JHA 2 3. The first bail application of the applicant has been rejected by this Court on merits vide order dated 18.09.2025 passed in MCRC No.6963/2025. 4. As per prosecution case, on 06.03.2024 a dead body of deceased Jamshed Ansari was found in Bhelva Damar Jungle. Merg intimation was reported to the police by Gafur Ansari, who is the father of the deceased. During merg inquiry, the dead body was sent for postmortem and during postmortem, various injuries were found over the body of deceased including neck injury and cause of death was opined as a shock due to consequence of cut throat injury of neck. FIR was registered and after recording statement of witnesses the present applicant and other co-accused persons have been arrested on 07.03.2024 and on the memorandum statement of the present applicant blood-stained clothes of the applicant has been seized. After completion of investigation, charge sheet has been filed. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that applicant is in jail since 07.03.2024, however, till date only 15 witnesses have been examined out of total 28 witnesses and the final adjudication of the case will take its own time. There is no eye-witness to the incident and there are material contradictions in the evidence of other witnesses, who have been examined before the learned trial Court, therefore, the applicant has filed the second bail application. 6. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the bail application and submits that the first bail application of the applicant has been rejected by this Court on merits. Thereafter, out of total 28 witnesses, 15 witnesses have been examined and trial is in 3 substantial advance stage, therefore, the applicant may not be released on bail. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents annexed with the bail application. 8. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, considering the nature of allegation levelled against the present applicant and the fact that the first bail application of the applicant has been dismissed by this Court on merits vide order dated 18.09.2025 passed in MCRC No.6963/2025 and further the fact that 15 witnesses have been examined before the learned trial Court and the trial is in advance stage, I am not inclined to admit this second bail application of the applicant. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant is rejected. 9. However, considering the fact that applicant is in jail since 07.03.2024, the learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial of the case and make all endeavour to conclude the trial as early as possible.
