The defense argued that the petitioner, with a clean antecedent, was falsely implicated, and there was a lack of incriminating evidence linking the petitioner to the recovered items. The defense also highlighted non-compliance with Section 100 of the Cr.P.C. The prosecution, represented by the DRI, opposed the bail application, citing the petitioner's admission of guilt and the proper legal procedures followed during the investigation. The court, considering the petitioner's clean antecedent and the submission of a chargesheet, granted bail on certain conditions, including cooperation in the trial and non-tampering with evidence or witnesses. The court also mandated verification of the petitioner's criminal antecedent, with provisions for bail cancellation if any concealment is found.In conclusion, the petitioner was granted bail upon furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties, subject to conditions ensuring trial cooperation and evidence integrity, along with verification of criminal antecedents.
