Having regard to the fact that the charge sheet has been laid in this case and that the petitioner has been in prison for more than 110 days besides the fact that likelihood of absconding of the petitioner is also not possible and all other attendant circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, but with stringent conditions. 6.
