It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody since 22.03.2024 and there is no criminal antecedent against him.

Having heard the parties, perused the records of this case. 7. In light of the persuasive submission advanced on behalf of the petitioner and under the facts and circumstances of this case, it is found just and fair to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
