It is assured that in case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty so granted.

On due consideration to the bail order of co-accused Ansh Shukla; the facts that the applicant has explained the criminal history of two cases in paragraph 17 to the bail application, the applicant is languishing in jail since 2.9.2025, the recovered quantity is below commercial, I find this to be a fit case for granting bail to the applicant.
