This application has been preferred by the petitioner for the modification of the order dated 05.03.2025 passed in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 555 of 2024. 3. The modification which has been sought for is with respect to one of the conditions of bail of the presence of the petitioner physically before the learned Trial Court on each and every date till the conclusion of the trial. 4. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner needs some breathing space as he has to attend the trial which prevents him from doing some productive work. It has further been submitted that the trial is at the stage of argument and he will be represented by his lawyer. He has further submitted that no adjournment will be sought by his lawyer in order to prolong the trial. 5. Mr. Amit Kumar Das, learned Special P.P., N.I.A, has opposed the prayer for modification, by submitting that the petitioner was granted bail only on 05.03.2025 and within a period of two months, this application was preferred for modification of the said order. It has been submitted that the trial is at its fag end and if this condition is relaxed, there is every possibility that the petitioner may not appear and abscond. 6. It appears that on 05.03.2025, the petitioner was granted bail in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 555 of 2024 and, considering the fact that the trial was in progress, he was directed to remain physically present before the learned Trial Court on each and every date, till the conclusion of the trial. It appears that the 2. trial is going on a day-to-day basis. It further appears that the trial is at the stage of argument of the defence and it is expected that the trial would finally come to an end shortly. On consideration of the fact that the conditions which have been imposed upon the petitioner was to secure his presence before the learned Trial Court and the fact that the trial is at its fag end, we are not inclined to modify the order dated 05.03.2025 passed in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 555 of 2024 and consequently, this application is dismissed. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J) (Ambuj Nath, J) Ranjeet/
