CRM No.M-44403 of 2014 -24.

What cannot possibly be disputed here is that the petitioner was granted the concession of regular bail in this case. Subsequently, he was declared proclaimed offender and was arrested on 11.08.2014. Since then, he is in judicial custody and no useful purpose would be served to further detain him in jail. There is no history of his previous involvement in any other criminal case. Moreover, all the offences alleged against the accused are triable by the Court of Magistrate. The conclusion of trial will naturally take a long time.

5.

In the light of aforesaid reasons, taking into consideration the totality of facts and circumstances, emanating from the record, as discussed here-in-above, the instant petition for regular bail is hereby accepted. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his filing a specific affidavit that he will regularly attend the Court proceedings in future and on his furnishing adequate bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
