¶17

I have already heard from the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Government Advocate for the State.

¶18

tangia on his head and he is in jail custody since 24.04.2023.

¶21

The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted for liberal consideration of his bail contending that, during the staying of the petitioner inside the jail, the investigation of the case has already been completed, to which, learned Additional Government Advocate vehemently objected contending that, the petitioner has assaulted on the vital part of the body of the injured i.e. on his head through tangia, for which, in this nature of allegation, he (petitioner) should not be allowed to go on bail.

¶22

When the petitioner is in jail custody for about more than 1 year 6 months and when during the staying of the petitioner inside the jail, the investigation of the case has already been completed, then at this juncture, by taking the period of detention of the petitioner and completion of the investigation of the case into account, it is felt proper to allow the petitioner to go on bail with stringent conditions.

¶23

Therefore, the bail application filed by the petitioner is allowed.

¶24

He (petitioner) is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.50,000/-(rupees fifty thousand) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin over the matter with conditions that :-
