Hon'ble Pankaj Bhatia,J.
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Mariano Anto Bruno and another(supra), prima facie there is no material to suggest the allegations of abetment against the applicant so as to connect him with the offence of abetment defined under Section 107 I.P.C. coupled with the fact that the applicant is in jail since 12.12.2023 and the having no criminal history and there is nothing on record to demonstrate that the applicant if enlarged on bail, would in any way adversely affect the trial and without expressing any opinion on merit, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.
(a) The applicant shall execute a bond to undertake to attend the hearings;
(b) The applicant shall not commit any offence similar to the offence of which he is accused or suspected of the commission; and
(c) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police ofÏcer or tamper with the evidence.
