Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:16360 Court No. - 5 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 1686 of 2025 Applicant :- Maroof Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Rafeek Ahmad Khan Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ajay Bhanot,J. Matter is taken up in the revised call. This is the second bail application. Shri Rafeek Ahmad Khan, learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant is in jail since 26.12.2022. As per the charge-sheet, the prosecution proposes to examine 26 witnesses. However, only four witnesses have been examined till date. This appears to be a rather distressing state of affairs. The trial is moving at an inordinately slow pace. It also appears that the directions of this Court made upon the learned trial court rendered on 04.01.2024 in the first Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.56002 of 2023 (Maroof v. State of U.P.) have not been complied with. Learned District Judge, Shamli as well as learned trial court, Shamli shall send a report regarding the status of the trial and cause for the delay in concluding the trial in Case Crime No.513 of 2022 under Sections 364, 302, 201, 120B, 404, 411, 34 IPC, Police Station-Thana Bh
