The court considered that the petitioner had spent 77 days in judicial custody and the Goondas Act detention against him was revoked, outweighing the prosecution's concerns about pending investigation and prior criminal cases. Bail was granted on stringent conditions including execution of Rs. 25,000 bail bonds with sureties, daily police reporting for 30 days, cooperation with investigation, and non-tampering with evidence/witnesses.
