Petitioner is in jail custody since 19.5.2008 after he remained absconding for about four years. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release him on bail at this stage and this application is, accordingly rejected. However, considering the nature of the injuries and the fact that petitioner remained absconding for about four years, he should renew prayer for bail after completing one year in jail custody from today.
