Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the accused-petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case; that charge-sheet has already been filed. He also submits that the accused-petitioner is in custody since long; that there are no criminal antecedents registered against the accused-petitioner; conclusion of trial will take its own time, so no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the accused-petitioner behind the [2026:RJ-JP:22876] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-7518/2026] bars and, therefore, prays that the accused-petitioner may be granted the benefit of bail under Section 483 of BNSS. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the submissions made by learned counsel for the accused- petitioner hereinabove and concurs with the fact that there are no criminal antecedents registered against the accused-petitioner. 4.

Hence, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, deems it just and proper to enlarge the accused- petitioner on bail. 5. Therefore, the instant bail application under Section 483 BNSS is accordingly, allowed and the accused-petitioner Augustine Egbo Chinweoke S/o Egbo is ordered to be released on bail, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the Trial Court, with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. 6.
