The petitioner is the husband and appears to be in custody since 01.10.2008. on the first occasion his prayer for bail was refused by order dated 08.07.2009 (Annexure-1). It was observed that if all the witnesses on behalf of the prosecution are not examined within five months from the date of communication of the order, he shall have liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Status report was called for which is on record. This Court finds from the report that as many as nine witnesses have been examined and an application for recall and re-examination of the child witness Juhi Kumari was filed. The report further indicates that the case is likely to be disposed of within six months. This Court on consideration of the materials on record, while declining the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail, disposes of this application in the following manner: “Let the trial court examine all the prosecution witnesses within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order failing which the trial court shall release the petitioner abovenamed on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to its satisfaction (Addl. - 2 - Sessions Judge, FTC No.3, Sitamarhi) in connection with S.T.No.19/09 arising out of Riga P.S. Case No.57/2008 subject to the condition that one of the bailors shall be own/close family member of the petitioner who shall appear on each date fixed at the trial.” hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
