Regular bail on overall circumstances granted after considering allegation gravity, role attributed, and parity with co-accused.

Regular bail under Section 439 CrPC was assessed on the nature of the allegations, the gravity of the offence, the role attributed to the accused, and parity with a co-accused who had already been granted bail. The Court followed the settled approach that bail may be decided on an overall assessment of the circumstances without detailed examination of evidence at that stage. On that basis, the applicant was found entitled to regular bail and was directed to be released on the conditions imposed.
