Govt. Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal Order on Board 04/02/2025 1. This is the third bail application of the applicant. The first bail application of the applicant has been dismissed as withdrawn after arguing for some time vide order dated 13.06.2024, passed in MCRC No. 3680 of 2024. The second bail application of the applicant was Digitally signed by VEDPRAKASH DEWANGAN 2 dismissed on 22.07.2024, passed in MCRC No. 5150 of 2024, as there was no change in circumstance. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the complainant could not be examined in the case till date, however, out of 08 witnesses cited in the charge sheet, 04 witnesses have been examined before the learned trial Court, and since the complainant is not turning up for recording of his evidence, the trial is delayed. The applicant is in jail since 30.04.2024 and final adjudication of the case will take its own time. Therefore, he has filed this third bail application. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes. 4. Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, considering the fact that earlier on two occasions, the bail application of the applicant has been dismissed, and out of 08 witnesses, 04 witnesses have already been examined, I am not inclined to admit this third bail application at this stage. Therefore, this third bail application is dismissed at motion stage itself. 5. Considering the fact that the applicant is in jail since 30.04.2024, the learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge ved
