The learned counsel for the applicant has given an undertaking on behalf of applicant that the applicant shall not misuse the liberty of bail and shall cooperate with the trial proceedings and shall abide by all terms and conditions of bail, if granted. 5. On the other hand, learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the prayer for bail of the present applicant by submitting that the allegation against the present applicant is serious. 6.
