Considering the argument advanced by the learned counsel for the applicant and the fact that during investigation his arrest was stayed by this Court and there is no allegation that he misused the liberty granted to him and apprehension of arrest even after charge sheet raised by applicant cannot be ruled out, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on anticipatory bail till the conclusion of the trial. 13.
