Having heard both sides and considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and also considering the fact that petitioner is the owner of the vehicle, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge in this case.

Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
