Leave granted. Bail Application Nos. 1256 of 2024 and 1250 of 2024 stand dismissed as withdrawn.

So far as the applicant - Gaurav Rohidas Khedkar is concerned, after hearing both the counsels at length and going through the papers, the Court is of the view that the material collected against the applicant was balanced. The CCTV footage reveals that the applicant had just went to the hotel, smoke a cigarette and left. No incriminating evidence has been recovered at his instance. Considering his alleged role attributed, the Court is of the view that his detention would serve no purpose. Hence, he deserve bail. Hence, the following order :
