Subsequently, once again, he was arrested and NBW has been issued and was rearrested. Apart from this, it is also stated that the petitioner has involved in nine previous cases. Now the case is pending for examination of witnesses and that already 13 witnesses were examined out of 21 list of witnesses. 7. This Court is of the view that if the petitioner is granted bail at this stage, he would hamper the trial process and accordingly this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. However, this Court gives direction to the trial Court to dispose of the case in Spl.S.C.No.27 of 2024 as early as possible.” 4.
