Court Order
The official court order granting bail to the accused.
“However, considering the pros and cons of the application, there is no point in detaining the accused further behind bars, as there is no further requirement of any custodial interrogation from them, and the apprehension expressed can be taken care of by imposing stringent terms and conditions. The trial is likely to take its own pace and time in view of the pendency of other older cases. Therefore, the bail application is allowed by adding stringent conditions against the accused.”
