When earlier petition was dismissed, 13 witnesses out of 23 witnesses have been examined. The present second petition for bail has been filed inter-alia on the ground that an application under Section 319 Cr.P.C. was allowed arraying additional accused to face trial alongwith the Crl.

It has been informed that charges have been framed against the additional accused also after the dismissal of the petition by the High Court for quashing of the order under Section 319 Cr.P.C. In view of the statutory presumption under Section 113-A of the Evidence Act, the authenticity of the defence evidence to be produced by the petitioner to rebut the presumption is yet to be examined. No ground is made out for grant of bail. Dismissed. However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the completion of trial.
