Holding
The High Court dismissed the application for bail. The court found the sureties presented were not substantial: the first was a businessman of uncertain business, the second a casual labourer, and the third employed in an enterprise of uncertain magnitude. The court also noted the absence of important factors necessary to decide on bail, including the stage of investigations, the charges, and the amount involved.
Outcome
Application for bail refused
