Trials in cases are not being completed in the stipulated time due to which undertrials are languishing in jail, the Bombay High Court said on Wednesday while reserving its order on a bail plea filed by a 28-year-old man arrested for allegedly being a member of the Islamic State terror group.

A division bench of Justices S S Shinde and N J Jamadar made the observation while hearing a petition filed by the accused, Iqbal Ahmed Kabir Ahmed, challenging an order of a special court refusing him bail.
