j) If any facts may emerge after the grant of bail which are considered unconducive to a fair trial.

10. It would be appropriate to reproduce the order of Hon'ble Supreme Court as passed in Cr. APP No. 1679 of 2022 dated 26th September, 2022 for the sake of convenience.

"Leave granted.
The challenge is laid to an Order dated 5-1-2022 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Patna, permitting Respondent No.2, who was on interim bail, not to surrender and thus granting him regular bail in a case under Sections 302, 120B, 363, 364 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act, registered vide F.I.R. Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3386 of 2019(17) dt.04-05-2023 199 of 2018 dated 2-10-2018 with Karja Police Station, Muzaffarpur, Bihar.
Earlier also, Respondent No.2 was released on bail by the High Court but the said Order was set aside by this Court on 25-01-2019 in Criminal Appeal No.1755 of 2019 and the matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh hearing of the bail matter. Pursuant thereto, the High Court has passed the impugned Order, continuing the interim bail/regular bail earlier granted to Respondent No.2.
Respondent No. 2 will continue on interim/regular bail till the High Court decides his bail application afresh. We make it clear that grant of interim bail by this Court shall have no bearing on the merits of the case. We request the High Court to consider all the contentions that may be raised on behalf of the State as well as the complainant.
