He further submitted that there is no material to implicate the Petitioner in the present crime. He further submitted that in the meantime investigation has been concluded and charge sheet has been filed.

On such ground, learned counsel for the Petitioner submitted that the Petitioner be released on bail on any stringent terms and conditions. 5. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, objected to the release of the Petitioner on bail on the ground that the Petitioner is a habitual offender.
