S.B. CR.MISC.3rd BAIL APPLICATION NO.3598/2008. Mohd.Yusuf @ Arif & Anr. Vs. State Date of Order : 8/7/2008. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Biri Singh for the petitioners. Smt. Sadhana Bhatt, Public Prosecutor for State. Shri Vijay Singh Poonia for the complainant. **** Learned Public Prosecutor state that remaining six witnesses have been called for recording of their statements by the trial court on the dates fixed i.e. 23.7.08, 24.7.08 & 25.7.08. Learned counsel for the petitioners has expressed apprehension that the recording of statements may not be concluded on the dates aforesaid and trial may be prolonged further. He argued that in view of the liberty granted to the petitioners while rejecting their first bail application, the petitioners have renewed the prayer for grant of bail. Keeping in view the fact that trial is nearing completion but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I do not deem it appropriate to enlarge the petitioners on bail but at the same time, it is directed that the statements of remaining six witnesses shall be recorded on the dates aforesaid or in the event of the statements not being completed, on an early date being fixed by the trial court. The prosecution is directed to keep witnesses ready on the dates fixed so as to enable early completion of the trial. This third bail application is dismissed with the aforesaid observations.
