Report has been received. From the report it appears that the examination of witnesses has not begun, although, bailable warrant has been issued against the witnesses as far back as on 9.1.2009 and 28.3.2009. The learned Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C.-IIIrd, Buxar, has estimated the time for conclusion of trial (Sessions Trial No. 4 of 2009) as three months. In view of the time estimated by the learned court below, this Court is not inclined to allow the petitioner on bail at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the court below is directed to take all necessary steps for appearance of the witnesses in the trial and to ensure that the trial is concluded within three months. In case the trial does not conclude within three months for no fault of defence side, petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. S.Ali (J.N. Singh, J.) 2
