4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposing the bail petition would submit that the petitioner is absconding and with much difficulty the respondent police secured the petitioner. Further in this case nine witnesses have been examined and the case is in the part heard stage and if the petitioner is released on bail, he may abscond again and the entire trial will be stalled. 5.Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence committed by the petitioner and also the fact that the case is at the part heard stage, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

6. Hence the petition stands dismissed. However the trial Court is directed to complete the trial within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
