JUSTICE S VISHWAJITH SHETTY ORAL ORDER Learned counsel appearing for the parties after arguing the matter for sometime, submits that though the petitioners are in custody from 18.08.2022, there is no progress in the trial and as on the date only two charge sheet witnesses are examined. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010403852026 NC: 2026:KHC:42411 CRL.P No. 8527 of 2026 C/W CRL.P No. 6935 of 2026 2. Per contra, learned High Court Government Pleader submits that the trial in the case has commenced only in the year 2025 and the witnesses who were examined before the trial court on behalf of the prosecution, were not cross-examined diligently by the accused and therefore there is a delay in examining the witnesses. He submits that material charge sheet witnesses including CWs.2 to 10 are yet to be examined. In the event accused persons who are from Nepal are enlarged on bail, they are likely to flee away from justice. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitions may be dismissed as not pressed with liberty to the petitioners to renew their application before the trial court after examination of the material charge sheet witnesses i.e., CWs.2 to 10. 4. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners is placed on record. - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010403852026 NC: 2026:KHC:42411 CRL.P No. 8527 of 2026 C/W CRL.P No. 6935 of 2026 5.
