Learned APP submits that in the present case, trial has commenced. The Special Court is in the process of recording substantive evidence of the complainant. It would not be appropriate to enlarge the applicant on bail in the midst of the trial. Upon considering the submissions of the learned APP this Court is not inclined to grant bail in favour of the applicant. However, Talwalkar 1/2
