He further submitted at this juncture submitted that the Petitioner does not have any criminal antecedent and that the injury sustained by the injured are not of serious in nature. On such ground, learned counsel for the Petitioner contended that the Petitioner be released on bail on any stringent terms and conditions that would be imposed by this Court. 5. Learned Additional Standing Counsel on the other hand opposed the bail application of the Petitioner on the ground that the investigation is still on, therefore, the release of the Petitioner at this stage would cause delay in conclusion of the investigation. 6. Having heard learned counsel for the respective parties and on careful consideration of the surrounding facts as well as materials on record, this Court is inclined to release the Petitioner on bail subject to imposition of stringent conditions. 7. Hence, it is directed that the Petitioner be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.40,000/- (Rupees Forty thousand) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned court in seisin over the matter. 8. It is open for the Court in seisin over the matter to impose any other conditions as may be deemed just and proper. Violation of any other conditions shall entail cancellation of the bail application. 9. It is further directed that the bail granted to the Petitioner shall be subject to the verification of his criminal antecedent and the injury report. In the event, the Petitioner is having any similar Page 3 of 3. criminal antecedent or the injured has sustained any grievous injury, then this order shall stand automatically revoked. 10.
