It appears from the said report that charges have been framed on 9.11.2009 and steps have been taken to procure the witness(s) on behalf of the proseuciton inasmuch as warrant of arrest against the non-official witnesses and summons against official witnesses have been issued. Considering the materials on record, this Court for the present is not inclined to admit the petitioner to bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly refused. If all the prosecution witnesses are not examined in this case within five months form the date of - 2 - communication/receipt of the order in the court below, the petitioner may approach this Court once again for bail. hr ( Kishore K.
