Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the present applicant has been falsely implicated as he has not committed any offence as alleged. Attention has been drawn towards the impugned First Information Report. The date of incident is 05.03.2025, but the First Information Report has been lodged on 08.03.2025 without explaining the delay. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from the possession of the present applicant. The relevant ingredients of Section 111 of BNS are not attracted in the present case so far as the role of the present applicant is concerned and the other Sections wherein the impugned First Information Report has been lodged is having punishment up to 7 years.

Further, the applicant shall abide by all terms and conditions of the bail order, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. Learned AGA for the State has also opposed the bail application but could not dispute the submission of the learned counsel for the applicant. Without entering into merits of the issue, considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties; contents and allegations of the FIR and the fact that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 11.03.2025; a similarly placed co- accused has been granted bail by this Court in Criminal Misc.
