applicant is on identical footing; the applicant has been in jail since 03.04.2023, and cooperated with the investigating officer during the investigation; it will take a sufficiently long time to conclude the trial, and no purpose would be served in keeping the accused-applicant in jail during pendency of the trial. Considering the facts above, this court is inclined to enlarge the accused applicant on bail. Therefore, the bail application is allowed.
7.1. The applicant shall not tamper with the evidence and shall cooperate with the police as required.
7.2. The applicant shall refrain from pressurizing the witnesses during the trial.
7.3. The applicant shall cooperate in the trial sincerely without seeking any adjournment.
