At this stage there is no prima facie evidence that he knowingly retained possession of said property. There is no previous conviction against him and considering these aspects, the bail application is allowed. The applicant Gulab Singh shall be released on his executing personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of C.J.M.
