He was on bail during the trial. There is no allegation of abusing of bail. The appeal has been admitted on merits.

In the circumstances, it is directed that pending the hearing and final disposal of the appeal, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the jail road police station, Solapur, once a week on every Monday until further order.
