Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and the nature of offences levelled against the petitioner and considering the fact that the co-accused was arrested and released on bail and the case is pending from the year 2021 and though the petitioner has been arrested only on 15.05.2026, the period of incarceration is nearly 45 days, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions:
[a] Accordingly, this petition is ordered and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on condition to execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Trichy, and on further conditions that:
