Keeping all possible events in mind this Court feels that the prosecution would be able to complete his evidence before 30th September, 2012 and it is expected that the defence will co-operate in completion of prosecution witnesses and will not take any adjournment in the matter. If the court completes the prosecution witnesses without hindrance by 30th September, 2012 then in that circumstance the above named petitioner would be released on bail on 1st of October, 2012 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Additional Chief Patna High Court Cr.Misc.
