Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been in custody since 04th May, 2018 and the trial has not yet concluded. Hence, a prayer has been made for grant of regular bail to the petitioner. Per contra, learned State counsel while opposing the prayer and submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions from SI Anandpal, has submitted that 22 out of the 25 prosecution witnesses cited, have been examined so far. Hence, the trial is nearing completion. Heard.

No ground is made out to extend the concession of regular bail to the petitioner, since the prosecution evidence is likely to conclude very shortly. However, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has been in custody for JAWALA RAM 2021.01.19 17:03 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh
