Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the bail application. It has been submitted that in fact the role of the present petitioner is entirely different from the co-accused persons.

It has also been submitted that the petitioner has been found with various Aadhar cards and Pan cards, details which shows that he was running a full-fledged operation.

The criteria for grant of bail in heinous offences are very well settled. The consideration to be taken into account while grant of regular bail are the nature and gravity of the respondent’s accusations and the antecedents of the applicant, possibility of the Applicant to flee from justice, the possibility of threatening and intimidating the witnesses and other circumstances. However, it is a settled rule that the Court at the stage of the bail cannot hold mini trials and has to only see the prima facie case as produced by the prosecution.

¶17

As per nominal roll dated 26.09.2024, present petitioner is of 42 years of age and in custody since 22.04.2024. The trial may take a long time.
