Bailable warrants have been issued for securing their presence in the case. Further, bailable warrants have also been issued to secure the attendance of police witnesses, who have been transferred to other districts. However, due to their engagement in investigation work and maintenance of law and order, they could not remain present before the Court and consequently, the evidence could not be recorded. The case had earlier been ;xed for prosecution evidence. Therefore, it is most respectfully prayed that a period of approximately six months may kindly be granted to enable completion of examination of the remaining prosecution witnesses. 6. The request made by the learned trial Court, is allowed, however, instead of granting six months, this Court deems it appropriate to grant further 04 months time for concluding the trial from today. 7.
