Holding
The court denied bail, holding that there was no merit to enlarge bail at this advanced stage of the trial.
Summary
The petitioner, Shyam Narayan Singh, sought regular bail in a case registered under Sections 364, 120-B, 302 and 210 of the Indian Penal Code. The trial court had completed the prosecution evidence and the accused's Section 313 examination, and was awaiting defence evidence, which the defence had already exhausted without producing any. The High Court noted that the trial was at its final stage and found no merit in granting bail at this point. The court directed the petitioner's counsel to cooperate with the trial court for speedy conclusion. Consequently, the court rejected the petitioner's bail application.
Issues considered
- Whether regular bail should be granted to the accused at the final stage of trial where prosecution evidence is complete and defence evidence has been exhausted.

two opportunities without producing any defence evidence.

directed to cooperate in the trial Court so that the trial may be
concluded expeditiously with this observation that I do not find
any merit in this case as the trial is on its fag end.
