Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case.

The two accused against whom there is allegation of preparing forged Adhar Card have already been enlarged on bail. There is no evidence on record to show that applicant had ever met those two accused to commit such crime for his release. The applicant is completely oblivious with the fact that who is the person who produced such persons for submitting bail bonds on behalf of applicant. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him.

Per contra, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence.
