Considering the arguments advanced by the counsel for the parties, considering that the applicant is the sole bread earner of his family and has no criminal antecedents; charge-sheet has already been filed; that FIR was registered after a delay of seven years without specifically naming the applicant and looking to the overall facts and circumstances of the case and material on record but without commenting on merits/demerits of the case, this court is inclined to allow the bail application of the accused-applicant and enlarge him on bail. 5. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 483 BNSS is allowed and it is ordered that accused-applicant Vikas S/o Govindraprasad @ Munna shall be enlarged on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial Judge for his appearance before the court concerned on all the dates of hearing as and when called upon to do so.
