It is also contended that apart from the statement of the eye-witnesses CCTV footage was also recovered and the petitioner along with other co-accused were seen in the CCTV footage. It is alleged against the petitioner that they with the other co-accused caused death of the deceased Sameer, therefore, considering the gravity of the offence, the bail application of the accused-petitioner may be dismissed. 4.

Considering the fact that material eye-witnesses have turned hostile and the witness who gave the CCTV footage to the Police Officials has also turned hostile and not supported the prosecution story, the accused-petitioner is in custody since long and further trial of the case may take considerable time, therefore, considering the aforesaid facts, this Court deems it proper to enlarge the accused-petitioner on bail. 6.
