CRM-M-7121-2022 (O&M) -2Per contra, while opposing the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, learned State counsel does not dispute the custody period of the petitioner. He, however, submits that the petitioner had actively participated in the occurrence, inasmuch as, he had handed over his personal mobile phone to the co-accused and that Rs.5,000/- along with mobile phone and two SIM cards were recovered from him. He further submits that prosecution witnesses are yet to be examined. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has been in custody since 09.08.2021. Recovery has already been effected. Co-accused have already been enlarged on bail. Prosecution evidence is yet to commence. In such circumstances, the trial of the case would take a long time to conclude. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars.

In view of the above and without commenting anything on the merits of the case, lest it should prejudice the case of either side, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.
