This is the Second bail application before this Court filed by the applicant for grant of regular bail. First bail application had been dismissed on merits by this Court vide order dated 23.04.2025, passed in MCRC-2267 of 2025. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that there is delay in conclusion of the trial. Till date, only six witnesses have been examined. The applicant is in jail since 14.01.2025, and the witnesses are not turning up regularly, therefore, he has filed this second bail application. 3. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the bail application. Digitally signed by V PADMAVATHI Date: 2025.07.02 17:29:30 +0530 Mcrc 5029 of 2025 2 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents annexed with the application. 5. On perusal of documents, which are the deposition sheets of witnesses PW-1 and PW2, it transpires that the witnesses have already been examined on 04.04.2025 when the order has been passed on 23.04.2025, in MCRC-2267 of 2025. Thereafter, the applicant has not filed either any order sheet, or any deposition sheet of the witnesses to show that there is delay in trial, or the witnesses are not turning up for their evidence. 6. In view of the above, I do not find any change of circumstance to admit this second bail application. Accordingly, it is dismissed at the motion stage. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) JUDGE padma
