(1.) VIRENDRA Saran, J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant.
(2.) LEARNED Government Advocate states that he has not received any instruc tions to oppose the bail application. Notice of the bail application was given on 1st December, 1998 and the case is from neighbouring district Sultanpur. It is yet another case in which the prosecuting agency has adopted a lethargic attitude in opposing bail application and I am not inclined to grant further time to the State. In a large number of bail matters instruc tions are not coming. It is for the con cerned police authorities to look into the matter and ensure that instructions are received by the Government Advocate in time. However, personal liberty of a citizen cannot be curtailed for the inaction of the prosecuting agency.
