would be unjustified. The learned counsel submits that applicant has clean antecedents and is co-operating the trial court and there is no further risk of absconding or tampering with the evidence.
3.
The bail application has been opposed by the learned APP, assisted by the learned counsel for the complainant, submitting that even though, the permanent place of residence of the applicant is stated to be that of Haridwar, but he was arrested from Meerut and there is a possibility that upon being released on bail, he may again abscond and therefore does not deserve the liberty of grant of bail.
