While rejecting the first bail application, direction was issued for recording of the statement of the fact witnesses, preferably within a period of six months. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant argues that despite directions, no witnesses have been examined. 6. The report sent by the trial Court concerned indicates that despite the dates being fixed, the prosecution was not producing witnesses. It also records that the police authorities were not taking the matter seriously. 7. Learned AGA has opposed the bail application. 8. Considering the report of the trial Court, although, the allegations are serious, however, the fact remains that the applicant is in custody since 22.07.2022 and the prosecution is not taking any serious effort for conclusion of the trial coupled with the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents, there is nothing on record to demonstrate that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, can adversely affect the trial, the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. In view thereof, the application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant Renu Bajpai be released on bail in aforesaid FIR number on her furnishing a personal bond with two sureties of Rs.20,000/- each to the satisfaction of court concerned with the following conditions: (a) The applicant shall execute a bond to undertake to attend the hearings; (b) The applicant shall not commit any offence similar to the offence of which she is accused or suspected of the commission; and (c) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. 10.
