It is submitted that the Applicant surrendered before the Court on 21.01.2026 and has been languishing in jail since then, i.e., for approximately three months. It is further submitted that the charge- sheet has already been filed by the Investigating Officer. Learned counsel for the Applicant further contended that the co-accused persons have already been granted bail by the learned Magistrate and the case of the present Applicant stands on similar footing. It is also contended that the Applicant has no criminal antecedents and undertakes to appear before the trial Court on each and every date, shall fully cooperate in the trial, and shall abide by any condition imposed by this Court. 6. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposed the bail application and submitted that the entire incident was captured in the CCTV footage and the involvement of the present Applicant is also reflected from the call detail records collected during investigation. 7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the material available on record, this Court finds that the Applicant is in judicial custody since 21.01.2026, the charge-sheet has already been filed, and the co-accused persons have already been enlarged on bail. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the Applicant has been able to make out a fit case for grant of bail. 8. Accordingly, the Bail Application is allowed. 9. Let the Applicant be released on bail upon furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned. 10. It is made clear that any observation made hereinabove is only for the purpose of adjudication of the present bail application and shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case. 11.
