Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was initially granted bail by the learned lower court vide order dated 11.06.2002, as no recovery was made from him. However, due to the failure of his lawyer to inform him about the ongoing proceedings from November 2017 onwards, he remained unaware of the case, which resulted in his non-appearance. After being apprised of the proceedings, the applicant surrendered before the trial court and is in judicial custody since 27.03.2025. The applicant has explained is criminal antecedents involving three cases in paragraph 3 of the supplementary affidavit. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail and shall cooperate in the trial proceedings. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. Considering the submissions advanced, the fact that the applicant is in custody since 27.03.2025, the explanation provided regarding his criminal antecedents, and his undertaking to cooperate in future trial proceedings, and without commenting on the merits of the case, I am of the view that this is a fit case for granting bail to the applicant.
