S.ABDUL NAZEER, J.
1 Leave granted.
2 The Appellant Ram Saran Pal alias Lallu is facing trial for the
offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 404 and 341 of the
Indian Penal Code. He has been in custody for more than six years. He had
moved the High Court for grant of bail on an earlier occasion. However, by
order dated 21.11.2014 the High Court rejected the bail application with
the direction to the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of
six months. In spite of the said order, no noticeable progress has been
attained in the case. The other co-accused have been bailed out.
3 In the circumstances, we cannot permit the appellant to continue
incarceration for a further period without the adjudication being
finalized. We, therefore, order him to be released on bail on execution
bond with two solvent sureties to the satisfaction of the trial judge. We
permit the trial judge to impose such conditions as he feels necessary for
ensuring the appellant’s attendance on the dates of posting in the trial
court.
4 This appeal is disposed of accordingly.
