It appears that during the pendency of the Trial and Appeal, the Applicant was on bail. After the order was passed by the learned Appellate Court, he was taken into custody on the same day, and since then, the Applicant has been in jail. The learned Advocate submitted that the Applicant has deposited the fine amount with the learned Trial Court. 4.
It further appears that the Applicant has preferred the Revision Application challenging the order passed by the learned Appellate Court, and the same is pending. Therefore, the Applicant submitted that he be released on bail, as the proceedings will take its own time to decide finally. Having considered the submissions and facts of the case, I deem it appropriate to allow the present Application.

As such, Criminal Application is allowed in terms of the prayer clause (B).
