The learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the petitioner has been detained behind the bars for last 55 days and the maximum period for which he may be detained during the period of investigation under Section 487 of the BNSS, is only 60 days and, therefore, he prays that considering the period of detention, he may be allowed to go on bail. 6.
