CRM No.M-10924 of 2019 -2has not contested this fact and stated that he has no objection if the bail is granted to the present petitioner.

The petitioner has been in custody since 07.05.2018. He is not required for custodial interrogation as he is in judicial custody. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the disposal of the case, especially when the parties have effected compromise and further, it being a case of version and cross-version.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case, without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing personal/surety bonds in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
