Regular bail on second application granted after trial developments weakened the prosecution case and strict conditions were imposed.

Regular bail in a second bail application was considered on the basis of subsequent trial developments, including examination of prosecution witnesses, which were said to weaken the prosecution version on arrest and trap. The Court weighed the nature of the accusation, severity of punishment, supporting evidence, possibility of tampering with witnesses, and the prima facie material supporting the charge. Without entering into the merits, it found the applicant entitled to bail, and granted release subject to stringent conditions designed to secure attendance and protect the fairness of the trial.
