Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the CD.

5.

No criminal antecedents have been reported against the petitioner. The contents of the CD reveal that the investigation of this case is practically over. Continued detention of the petitioner in custody is not required for the continued investigation of this case. Having regard to the period undergone by the petitioner in custody, the present stage of investigation and the absence of any criminal antecedents on his part, I am of the view that the petitioner can be enlarged on bail.
