The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioners have been languishing in custody since 03.09.2026 and the charge-sheet has already been submitted in the matter; further custodial interrogation of the petitioners may not be required in the event strict conditions are imposed for their participation in the trial proceedings. 4. The learned Addl. P.P. has submitted that there is sufficient evidence against the petitioner and, therefore, has opposed the prayer for bail. 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and I have perused the scanned copy of the TCR. Given the circumstances that the petitioners are now required to face trial upon completion of the investigation and keeping in view the length of detention, I am inclined to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioners.
