Petitioner undertakes to co-operate in the trial of the case by remaining physically present as and when required and shall not indulge in any manner in tampering with the prosecution evidences or influencing the witnesses of prosecution. Hence, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 6. Earlier the regular bail application of the petitioner has already been rejected on merits and there are no fresh grounds. The status report was also called for from the concerned court which shows that out of 13 charge-sheeted witnesses only 06 witnesses have been examined and remaining 07 witnesses are yet to be examined. Under aforesaid circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, which stands rejected. 7. The learned Trial Court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial of this case within three months otherwise petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
