Counsel for the petitioner further submits that the petitioner is behind bars for more than 3 years, 2 months and 18 days. Petitioner has clean antecedents and apart from his own disclosure that too while in police custody, no incriminating evidence is available against him. Investigation already stands concluded and Challan stands presented. Thus, there can't be any apprehension that the petitioner shall tamper with the evidence. 5.
State Counsel is not in position to dispute the factual assertions made by counsel for the petitioner based on record.
6.
I have heard counsel for the parties and have gone through records of the case.
7.
Without commenting on the merits of the case, keeping in view the incarceration already suffered by the petitioner and the fact that the investigation already stands concluded and Challan stands presented, granting parity viz-a-viz Harkesh, the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.
8.
Needless to say that anything observed hereinabove shall not be construed to be an expression of opinion on the merits of the case. April 03, 2024 (Pankaj Jain) Dpr Judge Whether speaking/reasoned :
