fact as also considering that co-accused Kamlesh Verma has been granted bail in MCRC/2799/2020 vide order dated 18.06.2020 and in particular the detention period of the applicant, I am inclined to release him on regular bail. Accordingly, his application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is allowed.
