We have heard learned counsel for the appellant and

Sections 419, 468, 470, 471 read with Section 34 IPC and

Sections 66(c) and 66(d) of the Information Technology Act,

on 26.05.2002. He has been in custody ever since then.

In respect of yet another criminal complaint, he has

already been granted default bail after the expiry of 60 days.

In the case at hand, the chargesheet was filed on

Now a period of nearly 9 months have elapsed from the

date of his arrest. Therefore, we deem it fit to order the

release of the appellant on bail.
