¶8

Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Opposite Party Nos. 2 and 3 has opposed the prayer.

¶9

Since this application arises out of a complaint case, I direct the petitioner, Manish Anand, to appear before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, and seek regular bail, if so advised. If he does so, his application for bail shall be disposed of on the same day, taking into account the law laid down by this court in the case of Salim Ansari @ Md. Salim Ansari and Others v. The State of Bihar, reported in 2015 (3) PLJR 807 , paragraphs 14 and 15 of which read thus:

¶10

“14. No fruitful purpose would, thus, be served by detaining an accused in a complaint case, even if the case involves commission of non-bailable offences, unless there is credible material on record to show that accused may unduly influence the witnesses and/or desist them from giving evidence or may not be available for trial.

¶11

Unless such an extreme case is made out, as stand indicated above, a Magistrate shall, ordinarily, allow the accused to go on bail unless the offence falls within the exceptions as have been provided under Section 437 of the Code of Criminal Procedure itself, such as, a case of murder, where the case requires an order of commitment to the Court of Session.”
