Bail granted after completed investigation and prior cooperation, with travel restrictions and passport surrender imposed.

Bail was granted in a long-pending matter after the investigation was completed and a supplementary charge-sheet was filed. The court noted that the applicant had appeared pursuant to summons, had cooperated by furnishing material during investigation, and there was no material showing non-cooperation or criminal antecedents. The risk of absconding was treated as manageable through conditions, so release on bail was ordered subject to execution of bond and sureties, surrender of passport, restriction on leaving India, and regular appearance before the court.
