M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL).
In view of the prosecution witnesses having been examined and the case being at penultimate stage, it will not be appropriate to consider the application for bail.
Without appreciation of evidence which might prejudice the rights of the prosecution agency or the petitioner, the petition is dismissed expecting that the trial will be concluded expeditiously by the trial Court.
