Taking into consideration the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, the nature of allegation against him, his length of custody, filing of charge sheet and the offence being triable by Magistrate; but, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
5. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner Mangi Lal Banjara S/o Late Shri Ranjeet Banjara shall be released on bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C. in connection with afore-mentioned FIR registered at concerned Police Station, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lac only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) each to the satisfaction of the trial Court with the stipulation that he shall comply with all the conditions laid down under Section 437(3) Cr.P.C.
