On due consideration to the facts that the applicant is in jail since 10.06.2025, the co-accused has already been granted bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court, and having regard to the role assigned to the applicant, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
