Petitioner sought regular bail, contending false implication and non-impleadment of main accused. Petitioner underwent 11 months and 26 days of custody, with another case pending on bail. Charges framed u/ss 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC and Section 132 CGST Act, 2017. Court observed that out of 12 prosecution witnesses, only 3 examined till date, and further detention would violate Article 21's right to speedy trial, as per Dataram Singh case. Deprivation of liberty without speedy trial inconsistent with Article 21, as per Abdul Rehman Antulay case. Veracity of allegations to be established during trial. Only 3 witnesses examined despite charges framed, rendering further incarceration purposeless. Without commenting on merits, bail granted subject to conditions, applying "bail is rule, jail exception" principle.
