Bail—Delay in trial—Statement of the witnesses runs to several hundred pages and the documents on which reliance is placed by the prosecution, is voluminous—The trial may take considerable time and the appellants, who are in jail, have to remain in jail longer than the period of detention, had they been convicted—Held, it is not in the interest of justice that accused should be in jail for an indefinite period—There is no good reason to detain the accused in custody, that too, after the completion of the investigation and filing of the charge-sheet.
