It is next submitted that the co-accused person who faced the trial have been acquitted vide judgment dated 15.01.2026 in S.T. Case No. 47 of 2023. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will co-operate with the trial of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 17.05.2023. Hence it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. Learned Addl.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
