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. 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 bail orders passed in favour of co-accused persons from whom recovery was made, the facts that no recovery has been made from the present applicant, he has explained his criminal antecedents, and he is in jail since 18.06.2025, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail.
