... Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Sanjay Agrawal, Advocate For Res./State : Mr. Jitendra Shrivastava, Government Advocate Hon’ble Shri Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal Judgment on Board 06.03.2025
1. This is the third bail application of the applicant. Vide order dated 09.09.2024, in MCRC No. 5946 of 2024, the first bail application has been dismissed on merits thereafter, the applicant had moved his second bail application and vide order dated 03.02.2025 in MCRC No. 932 of 2025, it has also been dismissed. Hence, the third bail application.
2. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the seizure witnesses as well as the memorandum witnesses have been examined and they have not supported the case of the prosecution, the applicant is in jail since
2 26.06.2024 and final adjudication of the case will take its own time, therefore, the applicant has filed this third bail application.
3. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submitted that out of total 27 witnesses, 17 witnesses have been examined and the trial is in progress therefore, the applicant may not be released on bail.
4. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties particularly considering the fact that the earlier two bail applications have already been dismissed and also considering the fact that out of 27 witnesses, 17 witnesses have already been examined by the prosecution and the trial is in progress, I do not find any good ground to admit this third bail application of the applicant.
5. Accordingly, the present third bail application of the applicant is dismissed at the motion hearing stage.
