P.C.:
1. Heard Mr. Icham, learned Advocate for Applicant and Mr.
Karmakar, learned APP for Respondent No.1.
2. After expressing my disinclination to Mr. Icham with regard
to grant of bail to the Applicant, Mr. Icham has taken instructions and
on instructions he would submit that Applicant be allowed to withdraw
the present Application. He would however persuade the Court to pass
extant direction for expeditious disposal of trial in view of long
incarceration of Application in prison for the past five years. Adhering
to the request made by Mr. Icham, I am of the considered view that
such directions needs to be passed.
