Mr. Amit Kohar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Deepak Balyan, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana. **** SHEEL NAGU, CHIEF JUSTICE (Oral) The petitioner, who is in custody since 31⁄2 years for commission of offence of murder, is before this Court for grant of regular bail through this first bail application which is filed solely on the ground of prejudice on account of delayed trial.

2.

It is informed by learned State counsel that total 31 enlisted prosecution witnesses have been examined and now the trial is fixed for recording defence witnesses.

3.

Though the petitioner is in custody since 3 1⁄2 years but considering the fact that trial is coming to an end and the possibility of fleeing from justice, since implicative evidence has come on record against him, cannot be ruled out, therefore, this Court declines regular bail to the petitioner and the petition stands dismissed.
