The police have seized a bank account, cheque book, ATM card, and a mobile number linked to the applicant, but no material evidence has been found connecting him to the alleged fraud. The charge sheet has already been filed, and the case is triable by a Magistrate with no charges warranting life imprisonment. The applicant is a permanent resident, poses no flight risk, is willing to cooperate with the trial process, and undertakes not to misuse the bail, requesting release as the trial is expected to take a long, therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the applicants. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the submission made by the learned counsel for the applicant and submits that the present applicant along with other co-accused persons committed online fraud, therefore, they are not entitled for grant of regular bail in the present case. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the nature and gravity of the offence and also considering the fact that the applicants have committed a cyber fraud, thus, looking to the seriousness of the allegations against the present applicants, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the applicants. 7.
