    Bail was refused because the accused was charged with a non-bailable offence under s.373 Penal Code and failed to demonstrate exceptional grounds under s.388(1) CPC; the nature and gravity of the offence, the severity of potential punishment, the accused's foreign status with an expiring work visa creating a tangible flight risk, the public interest and likelihood of witness tampering together justified a judicial refusal of bail.
