Two persons lost their lives and a third survived. However, subsequently due to other reasons, the third person who was the witness also expired.

¶17

Be that as it may, the prosecution has already examined 15 witnesses and is in the process of examining other witnesses.

¶18

The trial Court is therefore requested to complete the evidence of the prosecution witnesses preferably by the end of May 2024.

¶19

The applicant is at liberty to move the learned trial Court afresh for the grant of bail if the prosecution fails to examine all prosecution witnesses by the said time.

¶20

With these observations, the applicant is permitted to withdraw the present application for bail. It is made clear that all contentions of the applicant are kept open.
