Learned Addl. P.P. appearing for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view of the serious allegation against the petitioner of being member of an unlawful assembly, the petitioner is squarely liable for the acts committed by the unlawful assembly, in prosecution of the common object of the assembly and in view of the direct allegation against the petitioner, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding, if released on bail and also there is chance of the petitioners tampering with the evidence. It is therefore submitted that the petitioner ought not be released on bail at this stage. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner as well as the chance of his tampering with the evidence and absconding, if released on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be released on bail.
