ORDER
This
Special Criminal Application has been received through jail. The
under-trial prisoner who is the applicant has stated that he has
been detained in jail since more than 2 years, during which period,
the progress of the trial has been slow and only two witnesses out of
140 witnesses have been examined. There are as many as 14 accused.
He has, therefore, prayed that appropriate order be passed. He has
also requested for releasing him on bail.
In
response to the notice issued by the Court, learned APP stated under
instructions as many as 17 witnesses out of 101 prosecution
witnesses have already been examined. However, looking to the
large number of accused and witnesses, it is not possible to
foresee when the trial may be over.
In
view of the above since it is not possible to provide any time-frame
for completing the trial, the present application can be treated as
request of the petitioner for releasing him on bail. The same may be
placed before the appropriate court for further order.
