The applicant who is in custody since 11.10.2023 has approached this Court for grant of regular bail in connection with S.T. No. 09 of 2024 ( arising out of Rajmahal P.S.

The prayer for bail of this applicant was earlier dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 01.03.2024 in B.A. No. 519 of 2024 and again vide order dated 31.08.2024, B.A. No. 3291 of 2024 was rejected. Thereafter prayer for regular bail of the applicant was rejected vide order dated 25.07.2025 in B.A. No. 859 of 2024. This is fourth attempt of the applicant renewing the prayer for grant of regular bail. 4. A report was called for regarding stage of the trial. As per the report received from the learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Rajmahal, out of 14 charge-sheeted witnesses, 8 witnesses have already been examined. 5. Considering the fact that earlier the prayer for bail has been rejected thrice on merit, I find no reason to reconsider the renewed prayer for grant of regular bail. 6.
