There are as many as 29 witnesses, but till date, only 10 witnesses have been examined and the examination of the 11th witness is not completed. Applicant is in jail since 11.07.2022 and therefore, he may be enlarged bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel vehemently opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the applicant and would submit that the eye-witnesses to the incident Devanand have supported the case of prosecution. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 6. Perusal of the deposition of the witness Devanand would show that he stood with the statement as given to the police under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C.
