From its perusal it appears that out of 7 charge-sheeted witnesses only 2 witnesses have been examined.

Learned counsel for the informant submitted that 5 prosecution witnesses have been examined and trial is likely to be concluded in near future. Case is fixed for recording the prosecution witnesses.

No fresh ground is made for reconsideration of the regular bail of the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for grant of regular bail is rejected.

Accordingly, petition stands disposed off.

However, learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial within 4 months., failing which, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer of bail.
