I have perused the status report of trial court dated 18.07.2025 that out of the 17 proposed witnesses, till date testimony of PW-1 is still not concluded. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the coordinate Bench has granted bail to two co-accused on the ground of prolonged detention period.

However, he is not able to dispute the fact about granting bail to two co-accused. 6. I have considered the above submissions and at this stage taking note of the period of detention, which is more than five year and six months as well as the similarly situated two co-accused have already been granted bail, therefore, a case for bail is made out. 7.
