Regular bail granted after investigation concluded and prolonged custody was found unnecessary despite other pending criminal cases.

Regular bail was granted where the petitioner had remained in custody since 21.01.2021, investigation had concluded and the final report had been filed. The offences were triable by a Magistrate, so continued incarceration was found to serve no useful purpose. The existence of other criminal cases was treated as only one relevant circumstance and not, by itself, a decisive ground to deny bail when the petitioner otherwise satisfied the requirements for release.
