01:08I have seen the Indian media reports about the bail given to four Indians

01:16accused by RCMP of having collaborated in the killing of Nija. The bail has

01:27been given by the British Columbia Supreme Court to which the RCMP had got

01:35the case transferred to have a speedier trial. The bottom line is that

01:49on the 11th of February the British Columbia Supreme Court will hear the

01:55case. The question now is whether the giving of bail to these four is a big

02:04setback for the Canadian government but it is difficult to say. In case it is

02:13true that it is the advocates on behalf of the accused who sought the bail and

02:21to that extent it is a victory for them but basically we have to understand that

02:29the case will be tried in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and that the

02:39RCMP's effort to accelerate the proceedings is succeeding. Incidentally

02:49these four were accused and taken into custody in May last year and it is

03:02rather surprising that RCMP should have taken so much time to complete

03:12the investigations
