The submissions from both sides now would show that the prosecution evidence is completed. The learned counsel for the applicant submits that now the defence evidence is to be led and if upon hearing, this Court is not inclined to grant bail, at least temporary bail for a period of two weeks may be granted.

5.

However, considering the merit of the case, this Court was not inclined to grant bail to the applicant and hence, the applicant's earlier application was allowed to be withdrawn. Now, the trial is at the fag end. In the circumstances, the applicant does not deserve to be released on bail. Hence, the present application is rejected.
