against the petitioner. It seems that the investigation of this case is practically over. The continued detention of the petitioner in custody is not required for the continued investigation of this case. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case and having regard to the period undergone by the petitioner in custody and the present stage of investigation, I am satisfied that the petitioner can be enlarged on bail.
6.
