3. It appears that this is for the third time the petitioner has approached this court seeking bail. His main ground for seeking bail this time is that he is suffering from ailment, namely, kidney stone and for better treatment, he is required to take treatment in a specialized hospital.

¶20

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if the petitioner is granted bail, he is ready to co-operate in the trial. He also submits that the examination of victim has been done by the trial court. However, her further examination is fixed on another day.

¶21

5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor has opposed the grant of bail at this stage and has submitted that the victim girl has implicated the present petitioner in the offence with which he has been charged with. He further submits that the examination of victim girl is not yet complete. He also submits that there is one independent witness also who has identified the petitioner in the test identification parade. He submits that the prayer for bail may only be considered after the independent witnesses including the victim girl are examined by the trial court as releasing the petitioner on bail at this stage may give him an opportunity of influencing the victim girl and the independent witness.

¶22

6. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has also produced the up-todate health report of the petitioner given by the jail doctor.

¶23

¶27

9. The trial court shall make all endeavor to examine the victim girl and the independent witness who had identified the petitioner during test identification parade as expeditiously as possible.

¶28

10. After examination of the victim girl and the independent witness, the petitioner may approach the trial court and may seek bail before the said court.
