O R D E R

(The case has been heard through video conference) The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 15.06.2020 for the offences punishable under Sections 395 read with 394 and 109 IPC, in Crime No.50 of 2008 in PRC.No.20 of 2010 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. It is a case of jumped bail. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that this is third application for bail and the earlier petition was dismissed by this Court on 17.08.2020 vide Crl.O.P.No.11312 of 2020 and the petitioner has been suffering incarceration from 15.06.2020. Hence, he prays for grant of bail.

3. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit that very recently on 22.09.2020, the case has been committed to Sessions and the next hearing is on 24.10.2020. She would submit that with very great difficulty, the petitioner has been arrested by the respondent on 15.06.2020 and if bail is granted to the petitioner, there is every possibility that he would abscond and it would derail the progress of the trial. Hence, she vehemently opposed for grant of bail.
