4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) strongly opposed for grant of bail to the petitioner stating that the petitioner has been absenting himself during the committal proceedings and the trial has been completed and almost 70% of the witnesses have been examined. The case is now posted on 07.08.2025 for examination of L.W.26 to L.W.29 and one more witness is to be examined.

5. Considering the fact that the case is pending from the year 2015 and also that the trial was almost completed, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the 2/4
