On 8.8.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel states that the petitioner has been in custody since 13.9.2010 and except this false case no other case has been registered against him and there is no independent witness of the alleged recovery of 1800 kilograms of charas.” Counsel for the respondent states that five out of thirteen witnesses cited have been examined and further that the prosecution shall conclude its entire evidence on or before 31.12.2011. Crl. Misc No. M 20625 of 2011 ::2:: In these circumstances, I do not deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner at this stage. Consequently, this petition is dismissed, however, with the caveat that in case the prosecution does not conclude its evidence on or before 31.12.2011, the trial Court shall release the petitioner on bail to its satisfaction.
