Indeed, the Applicant has been convicted for offence, which is a serious offence. However, as the Applicant has already suffered substantial period of sentence having undergone over six years including period of remission out of the sentence of R.I. of seven years; coupled with the fact that it is unlikely that the Appeal would be listed for final hearing in the immediate near future, as it is yet to be set down for the hearing, in the interest of justice, the Application deserves to be allowed, by imposing strict conditions as the learned APP submits that the Applicant has criminal antecedents. Accordingly, the 2 Applicant is released on bail on the following conditions. (a) The Applicant Samsuddin Mohammad Shaikh is directed to be released on bail in connection with the offence in Sessions Case No.675 of 2002, if not required in any other case, on executing bail bond in the sum of Rs.15,000/-(Rs.Fifteen thousand only) with two sureties in the like amount.
