(Oral) The allegations of the prosecution in this regular bail moved by petitioner Manoj are that on 1.7.2012, he along with his co-accused assaulted complainant Jitender. It is fairly accepted by the State counsel that the similarly placed co-accused Chiman, as argued on behalf of the petitioner, has been granted bail by this Court and the only reason for declining his request for bail earlier by the Court below is that he was declared proclaimed offender on 3.1.2013. It is submitted vehemently by counsel for the petitioner that since 20.2.2013, the petitioner is in custody and has thus undergone almost two years, one month and fifteen days.

Without going into the merits of the case, in the light of the fact that trial is not likely to conclude in the near future, this Court is of the opinion that further detention of the petitioner in the present case is not DALBIR SINGH TIWANA 2015.04.
