Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The FIR is delayed by two days and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. The informant has been examined during trial as PW-1 and has not supported the prosecution story, although, he has not been cross-examined by public prosecutor. 5. Learned counsel has further argued that the PW -2, father of the deceased person, has been examined during trial and has completely resiled from his earlier statements and has been cross- examined by the public prosecutor after declaring him hostile. There is no likelihood of conviction of the applicant in the present case. 6. Learned counsel has further stated that there is no criminal antecedent of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 08.08.2024 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 7. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application but could not dispute the fact that there is no criminal history of the applicant and the witnesses have turned hostile. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record, and taking into consideration the settled law of the Supreme Court passed in Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation and Ors., 2022 INSC 690 and Manish Sisodia vs. Directorate of Enforcement, 2024 INSC 595 and also the fact that the witnesses have turned hostile, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant- Sunny, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions.

It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the applicant shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
