Prayer for bail of this petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court on merits. Now, the petitioner has renewed his prayer on the ground that he has remained in custody since 22. 02. 2018. It is submitted that the trial has not yet concluded as one and two more witnesses are remained to be examined in this case. It is submitted that because of the situation of COVID-19, the witnesses are not being produced in Court. Considering the period of custody and the fact that the co-accused persons have already been granted bail, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, petitioner namely, Vikash Mahra @ Vikash Kumar, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount -2-each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Madhupur in connection with Sarath P.
