There are serious charges against the applicant. 7. In these circumstances, no case of bail is made out. 8. Accordingly, this application is rejected.” 3. In pursuance of order of this Court, trial Court has submitted status report that out of 10 prosecution witnesses, testimony of PW-1 and PW-2 are over and statement of PW-3 is at the stage of cross examination. 4. Learned counsel for applicant submits that PW-1 is not an eye-witness and there is no motive for applicant to commit crime. 5. Learned AGA submits that trial is proceeding and at this stage, to make any comment on nature of evidence would be adverse to both parties. 6. I have considered above submissions and perused the records. 7. Statement of eye witness appears to be consistent and role of applicant is specifically mentioned and as referred above, there are some other material witnesses also who are still to examined, therefore, at this stage, this Court does not find any ground to consider prayer for bail. Accordingly, bail application is rejected. 8.
