CRM-M No.19672 of 2018 Without commenting anything on merits of the case and considering the fact that the petitioner was granted bail at initial stage and was re-arrested after addition of Section 326 IPC; challan has been presented; the petitioner is not involved in any other case and conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, this petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Illaqa Magistrate/Duty Magistrate.

However, it will be open for the prosecution to apply for cancellation of bail, if the petitioner is found misusing the concession of bail, in any manner.
