will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned counsel for the informant and learned AGA have opposed the prayer for bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Having heard counsel for the parties and having perused the record, this Court prima facie finds that vague and general allegations have been levelled against the applicant.

Earlier, the co-accused Mamta had lodged a first information report against the informant and four others, indicating prior enmity between the parties. The cheque of Rs.2 lakhs was allegedly recovered pursuant to the disclosure statement of co-accused Surkesh. Further, the co-accused Shilpi @ Shivani has been enlarged on bail by this Court. Moreover, the applicant has no criminal history and has remained confined for more than two months and there is no hope of early conclusion of trial, more so when no reasonable apprehension has been brought to the fore by the State that the applicant, if enlarged on bail, would either tamper with the evidence or delay the trial or intimidate the witness, without commenting on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. 6. Let the applicant Bhure, involved in the aforesaid case be released on bail on her furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the conditions that he: (i) shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court; (ii) shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; and, (iii) shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses. 7. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to move bail cancellation application before this Court.
