Counsel also submits that the petitioner is in custody since 16.04.2026 and after investigation, charge-sheet has already been submitted.

Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer made by counsel for the petitioner and submitted that in the telephonic conversation with the co-accused Dinesh Kumar, the factum of acceptance of bribe by the petitioner has been established. Hence, under these circumstances, the petitioner does not deserve any indulgence of bail. 4. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the arguments put forward by learned counsel for the petitioner and looking to the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 16.04.2026 and after investigation, charge-sheet has been submitted and the trial will take its own time to conclude, hence, without expressing any opinion on merits and demerits of the case, this Court deems it just and appropriate to grant indulgence of bail to the petitioner under Section 483 BNSS. 6.
