u/s 61(2)/319(2)/318(4)/340(2)/336(3)/316(5), BNS, r/w Section 66(C)/66(D) of Information Technology Act.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that on the earlier occasion the petitioner had been initially granted an interim protection of pre- arrest bail

and

had

appeared

before

the

I.O.

However, on production of the Case Diary, this Court by an order dated 25.05.2026, passed in Anticipatory Bail No. 460/2026 had rejected the Anticipatory Bail petition for the petitioner. He has submitted that thereafter, the petitioner had surrendered before the I.O on 01.08.2026, and has been in custody ever since.

5. Today being the 48th day of custody, the learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the investigation has progressed to quite some extent and therefore, the continued custody of the petitioner for the investigation at this time may not be further necessary.

6. The learned Addl. PP has submitted that the prime accused in the matter are yet to be arrested and further, there had been recoveries from the petitioner and there is substantial evidence to show his involvement in the alleged offenses.

7. Having regard to the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the release of the petitioner at this stage may hamper the investigation process.

8. Accordingly, the prayer for bail at this stage is rejected.

9. Bail Application is accordingly disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
