I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner- accused that he has been continuing in custody since 26.7.2010 and that he is an Engineering student and only injury attributed to him is on left hand of complainant and that main injury has not been attributed to him. It is further contended that he could not join the investigation earlier as he was away for the purpose of his studies. Further contends that co-accused are already on bail. It has also been contended that investigation in this case has already been completed, challan filed, however, trial is not likely to be concluded in near future as no witness has been examined so far, though charge has been framed. Learned State counsel has not disputed these facts. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from Crl.M.No.M-23356 of 2010 (O&M) -2- deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail.
