Applicant is languishing in jail since 14.12.2024 i.e. for last about five months and his criminal history has been explained as stated above; undertaking given by learned counsel for applicant that applicant shall abide by all terms and conditions as imposed by this Court; there is no possibility of completion of trial in near future and there is no material brought by learned AGA to establish that if applicant would be enlarged on bail he will influence the trial or the witnesses. 7. Taking into consideration the aforesaid reasons as stated above and the fact that main co-accused, Mihir Raghuvanshi has already been granted bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant - Durgesh Alias Deepak, who is involved in the aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty thousand) and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions.

In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
