In this process, the trial may get protracted, however, it willn&#8217;t be a ground for this court to grant bail to the accused.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The issue pertains to the murder of V Ramalingam, a\u00a0PMK\u00a0former\u00a0functionary, in Thanjavur on Feb 5, 2019. It was claimed that the murder was committed by members of Popular Front of India (PFI) &amp; its political organisation called Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) as\u00a0Ramalingam\u00a0objected to their \u2018religious work\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Objecting to the bail, the prosecution submitted that it has filed a memo before the trial court for hiding the identity of 15 vital witnesses, who speak about the conspiracy &amp; overt acts of the accused.<br \/>\nAfter due consideration, the trial court allowed the memo on merits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we apprehend that the protected witnesses are also living in the very same locality of the accused &amp; there is every possibility of threat to the life of those witnesses, especially when these witnesses have to come forward &amp; identify the accused persons during trial,\u201d the prosecution said.<\/p>\n<p>Recording the submissions, the bench said: \u201cThe trial court is directed to examine the hide-out witnesses &amp; record their evidence at the earliest, preferably on or before June 30. Further, on completion of examination of the hide-out witnesses, the accused persons are at liberty to approach the trial court again for grant of bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holding that mere\u00a0delay\u00a0in conducting\u00a0trial\u00a0in cases under the\u00a0Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act\u00a0doesn&#8217;t take away the bar on granting bail to suspects, the\u00a0Madras HC dismissed a bail application moved by an accused arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with a\u00a0murder\u00a0case.
