He further submits that name of beneficiary has already been dropped by the Investigating Officer and charge sheet has already been filed but till today, not even a single witness has been examined. He also submits that there is no possibility of conclusion of trial in near future. In these circumstances, the applicant is entitled for bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

Learned A.G.A. oppose the prayer for grant of bail, but he does not dispute the confinement period of the applicant.
