3.It is seen that the petitioner originally granted bail and he failed to appear before the trial Court in C.C.No.269 of 2019 on

02.12.2019. Therefore,the trial Court issued non-bailable warrant and the petitioner was arrested on 06.03.2022. While non-bailable warrant was pending, the petitioner involved 24 cases. In the present case, now, all the prosecution witnesses were examined and the case is posted for examination of the investigation officer's evidence. At this stage, if the petitioner let out on bail, he will abscond again and the trial will be stalled. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner herein. Accordingly, this criminal original petition is dismissed. The Court below is directed to complete the trial in C.C.No.269 of 2019 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
