9. While concluding arguments, learned counsel for petitioner has relied
upon the judgment rendered by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of
Gurbaksh Singh Sibbia Vs. State of Punjab (1980) 2 SCC 565 wherein it
was held that while considering grant or denial of bail, the court has to
consider (1) Gravity of offence; (2) Nature of Evidence on record against the
accused; (3) Likelihood of accused committing further offences; (4)
Previous criminal antecedents; (5) Likelihood of accused absconding or
evading process of law and (6) Larger interest of the public or the State.
Keeping in view the gravity of offences and nature of evidence on record,
the present petition deserves to be allowed.
