Learned counsel Public prosecutor opposed the bail application and submits that as per the statements of the other co-accused the petitioner was also involved in the alleged crime. 4. Considered the submissions made by the counsel for the accused-petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the challan papers. 5. The statement of an accused cannot be read as evidence against another accused so as to convict him. 6. Taking into consideration overall facts and circumstances of the case and more particularly the fact that nothing is found to be recovered at the instance of the accused- petitioner which could connect the accused-petitioner with the alleged crime, this Court without expressing any opinion on merits and demerits of the case, deems just and proper to enlarge the accused-petitioner on bail. 7. Accordingly, this bail application is allowed and it is di- rected that accused-petitioner shall be released on bail provided that he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lac Only), together with two sureties in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) to the satisfaction of the Trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court or any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all sub- sequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
