This Court has heard the rival submissions made by learned counsel for the parties at considerable length. 8.

The petitioner is alleged to be a member of a gang involved in committing offences of extortion of ransom money from the public persons by extending threats to them. He is also alleged to have given such threats to the complainant by making a call to him through his Instagram ID. It is, however, only a matter of the evidence as to whether, such call had been made from his Instagram ID. No recovery has been effected from the petitioner. He is in custody since 29.08.2025. He is not required for further investigation. The trial will take considerable time to conclude as no prosecution witness has been examined so far. There is no basis of contention that he might commit similar offences or intimidate the witnesses. 2 :    :   7  !!         !  7! !    !

        A!  It is equally well settled proposition of law that the object of jail is to secure the appearance of the accused during the trial and it can neither be punitive nor preventive and the deprivation of liberty has been considered as a punishment.
