shown that the Applicant is of such character that his mere presence at
large would intimidate the witnesses or there is any material to show that
applicant will use his liberty to subvert justice or tamper with the
evidence.

7. The object of the bail is to secure the attendance of the accused, the
detention of the accused pending trial cannot be punitive in nature as there

A.G.A. has not brought any facts and circumstances to demonstrate that
the character of the accused-applicant (s) is such that his mere presence at
large would intimidate the witness.

any offence on previous occasion.

in the past has attempted to evade the process of law. Further, no material
facts and circumstances have been placed to show that it is not in public
interest or interest of society at large to release the applicant on bail.

11. No material has been shown to suggest that the applicant is at flight
risk, has chance of repeating the offence, or intimidating the witness if
enlarged on bail.

12. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of offence,
evidence, complicity of the accused, submissions of learned counsel for
the parties and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case,
