The Applicant was arrested on 10th September, 2024. On conclusion of investigation, chargesheet is filed against the Applicant. The charge against the Applicant is punishable with imprisonment of 7 years. Admittedly, nothing more has remained to have been investigated.

The Applicant has no criminal antecedent and he is not likely to flee from justice. Hence the following order :- O R D E R :
