nature of allegations, gravity of offences, role
attributed to the accused, without discussing the
evidence in detail and also in view of the

Maharashtra and Ors., reported at [2011] 1 SCC
694, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court reiterated the

8. Despite this order, it would be open for the
Investigating Agency to apply to the competent

Magistrate, for police remand of the applicant.
The applicant shall remain present before the
learned Magistrate on the first date of hearing of
such application and on all subsequent occasions,
as may be directed by the learned Magistrate. This
would be sufficient to treat the accused in the
judicial custody for the purpose of entertaining
application of the prosecution for police remand.
This is, however, without prejudice to the right
of the accused to seek stay against an order of
remand, if, ultimately, granted, and the power of
the learned Magistrate to consider such a request
in accordance with law. It is clarified that the
applicant, even if, remanded to the police
custody, upon completion of such period of police
remand, shall be set free immediately, subject to
other conditions of this anticipatory bail order.

9. At the trial, the Trial Court shall not be
influenced by the prima facie observations made by
this Court in the present order.

10. Rule is made absolute to the aforesaid extent.

Direct service is permitted.
