At this stage, Court cannot go into nature of the evidence that whether there are specific evidence against the applicant or not. 7. The Court takes note that the learned trial court has mentioned in the referred report that trial could be concluded within three months therefore, by rejecting the prayer for bail, this application is disposed of with a direction that the trial be concluded, expeditiously, and, in case, it is not concluded within the above referred period, the applicant will have a liberty to approach this Court along with status of the trial." . 3.

In pursuance of an order passed by this Court, learned Trial Court has submitted a status report dated 19.3.2025 that out of proposed 11 prosecution witnesses, 10 have been examined, therefore, trial is at the fag end. 6.

Since trial is at the fag end, though presently stayed by a co- ordinate Bench of this Court as referred above, therefore, considering period of detention i.e. about 2 years and 9 months as well as nature of evidence also, no case of bail is made out at this stage, therefore, this bail application is rejected.
