Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application and states that this is a case of cheating of around 200 crore. 6. The accused-petitioner is in custody since 08.11.2023 and out of 9 prosecution witnesses only 2 have been examined so far. It seems that trial of the case will take further considerable time and the accused-petitioner cannot be kept in custody for indefinite period without there being any fault on his part and he is having right of speedy trial. 7.
