Hon'ble Dr. Gautam Chowdhary,J. 1. Heard Shri Ashok Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State as well as Shri Prabhakar Pal, learned counsel for the informant and perused the material brought on record. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that on 18.02.2009 the mother of the applicant had got executed a sale deed in favour of one Kishore Babu and Ram Babu, which was later found forged. Therefore, the name of mother of the applicant was remained in revenue records. Later on the mother of the applicant had died and after her death the land was transferred in favour of applicant and his brother (who is also an accused). Learned counsel further submits that as per the allegations made in the F.I.R., on 19.03.2024, the applicant and his brother had executed the sale deed of the said land to the informant and one Sharda Devi in lieu of thirty six lakh rupees, out of which six lakh fifty thousand rupees was credited by the informant into the account of applicant through RTGS and six lakh fifty thousand rupees was credited by Sharda Devi in the account account of brother of the applicant through RTGS and rest of the amount was paid to the accused in cash. Learned counsel further submits that the sale deed which was executed on 18.02.2009 was challenged before the competent court. The applicant has not committed any forgery and he is ready to pay six lakh fifty thousand rupees to the informant. 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. He next submits that the applicant is in jail since 30.09.2024, with no criminal history. 3. 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. 4. Learned counsel for the informant while opposing the bail application has submitted that after purchasing the land on 19.03.2024 the informant filed an application for mutation of her name but the same was rejected on the ground that earlier that land was purchased by some other person. There is no doubt that the amount of six lakh and fifty thousand rupees was given by the informant to the applicant through RTGS. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has lastly submitted that the applicant is ready to return the said amount to the informant but he needs some time. Therefore, the applicant may be granted bail, at this stage. 6. Considering the overall facts and circumstances, the nature of allegations, the gravity of offence and without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court finds it to be a fit case for bail. Accordingly, the bail application stands allowed. 7.
