The petitioner is in custody for the commission of offences of robbery and wrongful confinement since 09.08.2024. 3.
It is not disputed by the learned State counsel that complainant in the trial has been examined and therefore, possibility of the petitioner influencing the main witnesses gets obviated. 3.
In view of the above, the petition stands allowed but with some stringent conditions as the petitioner has criminal antecedents and the petitioner is granted regular bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds for a sum of Rs. 50,000/-with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
