Aasif Pathan at the time of commission of the alleged offence. It is

It is further submitted that accused has already remained
in custody for approximately a month.
Heard. Record perused.
Recovery of case property has not yet been made. It is
admitted by IO that in the CCTV footage, accused is not seen
committing the alleged offence, but is only seen being present there at
the spot. Co-accused has already been granted bail. The offence
alleged against accused is punishable only with imprisonment of three
years. In view of the above facts and submissions, the court is of the
view that no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the accused
in custody and application is allowed and the accused is admitted to
bail on furnishing personal bond / surety bond in the sum of
Rs.25,000/- along with one surety in the like amount subject to the
satisfaction of Ld. JMFC / Duty JMFC subject to the following
conditions :-
