The public prosecutor strongly opposed the bail application on the ground that the investigation, in this case, was going on and 1-2 complaints of similar nature had been received. It was also apprised before the court that his involvement in other complaints has not surfaced and his involvement in providing details of one account could be linked so far. On being enquired from the Investigating Officer, it was submitted that other than the disclosure statement no evidence was collected against the accused and he was not involved in any other criminal case.
The accused was already in custody for the last one month, it was informed in the court.
“In these circumstances, no purpose would be served by keeping the accused behind the bar,” the court said in the order.
