His name has been transpired in the case during the course of investigation upon the confessional statement of co-accused. Except confessional statement of co-accused there is nothing on record to demonstrate the complicity of petitioner with the alleged occurrence. He further submits that petitioner is in custody since 26.08.2021 and bears criminal antecedent of six cases. Charge sheet has been submitted in the case and there is no likelihood of tampering with the prosecution evidence.

(ii) Petitioner will co-operate in trial and will remain present on all dates and absence for two consecutive dates without appropriate permission, would be a ground for cancellation of bail by the learned Trial court itself. (iii) If the petitioner tampers with the evidence or the witnesses, in that case, the prosecution will be at liberty to move for cancellation of bail.

(iv) Petitioner shall furnish mobile number at the time of furnishing bail bond and the said mobile number shall continue in operating condition till disposal of the case and he shall get his presence marked before the officer-in-charge of the concerned police station on the first Tuesday of every month.
