this case and the trial is likely to be concluded within a period of five months.
Considering the nature of accusation and the stage of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected.

The District Magistrate, Patna and the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna are also directed to ensure that the remaining two official witnesses are examined on the date fixed by the Trial Court so that the trial could be concluded within the stipulated period.
