He further submits that injured witness, P.W.1 has not supported the prosecution version and all the witnesses of fact have been examined, therefore, there is no possibility of tampering of evidence.

In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 4. Learned A.G.A. oppose the prayer for grant of bail, but he does not dispute this fact that at the time of rejection of first bail application of the applicant, there was a direction to the trial court to conclude the trial within preferably a period of one year from the date of production of a certified copy of the order. 5. Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for applicant, learned A.G.A., material available on record, contents of F.I.R., other relevant documents, nature of offence as well as facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 6.
