 0 It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that it is a case where the petitioner, namely,



  is in custody for about four years and eight months and the trial of the case is going at a very slow pace. He submitted that rather three prosecution witnesses have been examined, including the complainant and two more witnesses, one of them is the witness of recovery memo. He submitted that at the time of deposition, the complainant did not support

 

the prosecution version and he was thereafter declared as hostile. He submitted that the petitioner is not involved in any other case and has clean antecedents and it is yet to be ascertained at the time of trial with regard to the guilt of the petitioner but he has already faced incarceration for about four years and eight months and therefore the petitioner may be considered for the grant of regular bail especially considering the long custody of the petitioner. 3.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties. 5.

It is a case where the petitioner has already faced incarceration for about four years and eight months and as per learned counsel for the parties, the complainant has been examined who did not support the prosecution version and



two more witnesses have already been examined. So far as the antecedents of the petitioner is concerned, the same has not been disputed by learned State counsel and it has brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner is not involved in any other case. This Court therefore would consider the prayer of the petitioner purely on the basis of long custody of the petitioner which is about four years and eight months. Three prosecution witnesses have already been examined and it appears that the trial of the case may take long time. Therefore, purely considering the long custody of the petitioner, this Court deems it fit and proper to grant regular bail to the petitioner.! : %6 the present petition is allowed. '
