5. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. It has been noticed that though the petitioner was apprehended in a well-populated area yet none from the locality was associated with the recovery proceedings and the provisions of section 103, Cr.P.C. were violated with impunity. The offences do not attract the prohibitory provisions of section 497, Cr.P.C. In the circumstances I am inclined to admit the petitioner to bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.50,000 (Rupees fifty thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court. H.B.T./M-538/L Bail granted.
