case. She further submits that charge sheet has already been filed. She also submits that the accused-petitioner has been in judicial custody since long and the conclusion of the trial will take long time, hence the petitioner may be enlarged on bail.
Learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State has opposed the bail application.
Taking into consideration the overall facts and circumstances of the case, but without expressing any opinion on the merits and demerits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is ordered that accused-petitioner Dilip Kumar Mehra S/o Prabhulal Verma shall be released on bail, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the trial Court, with the stipulation that the petitioner shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
