Per contra, learned counsel for the informant and learned A.G.A. have vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the applicant it is an open and shut case as the applicant had used his Instagram I.D. and posted indecent photographs and videos of the victim and had even sent them to her would-be husband, as such, the applicant is not entitled for bail. 7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that the applicant had made viral the said indecent photographs and videos of the victim on social media by using his Instagram I.D., I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected. 8. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
