Dalanwala, District Dehradun Hon’ble Dharam Veer, J. Heard Sri Navneet Kaushik, learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Amit Bhatt, learned Additional G.A. for the State and also perused the record. The new ground argued by learned counsel for the applicant in this bail application is that the applicant is in jail since 24.1.2002 i.e. for more than eight years and the trial of the case has yet not been completed. Till today only one witness, namely, Kapil Arora, who is the complainant of the case, has been examined in the trial court and he has not supported the prosecution case and has been declared hostile by the prosecution. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the statement of the witness Kapil Arora, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves bail at this stage. Let the applicant-Rajendra @ Ravinder be released on bail on his executing personal bond and also on furnishing two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of CJM, Dehradun. The bail application is disposed of accordingly. (Dharam Veer, J.) 05.04.2010 RG
