The Applicant was removed from the job about nine months back. He is in custody since 10th March, 2011. The trial has not yet commenced. 5. Though there appears to be a prima facie case against the Applicant, considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, including that there are no antecedents and the offences in question are triable by a Magistrate, I am inclined to grant one opportunity to the Applicant of availing of liberty. The trial also should be directed to be expeditiously held. 6. The Bail Application is allowed. 7. The Applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/-, with one surety in like amount, or two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each. 8.
