Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that as a new ground, two witnesses have been examined subsequent to the earlier order and they have not supported the prosecution story. The applicant is in jail since 19.02.2025 and is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 6. Per contra, learned counsel for the informant and learned A.G.A. have vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that already three witnesses have been examined and the said statement that the witnesses are hostile is false; as such, the applicant is not entitled to bail.
