Copy of statement of complainant is annexed with the present petition as Annexure P-2. As on date, there is no evidence with the prosecution against the petitioner. Conclusion of trial may take sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining him in jail.
On the other had, learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner.
Considering overall facts and circumstances, but without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed. Consequently, petitioner Gurwant is ordered to be released on bail pending trial, if not required in any other case, on his furnishing adequate bail bond and surety bonds to the satisfaction of trial Court/Duty Magistrate, concerned.
