It is further submitted that all the papers were already transmitted to the Treasury of the concerned District for payment of the retirement dues etc. No work was pending on the table of the applicant. It is further submitted that as per the prosecution case the applicant has taken money for transferring/giving the same to Sonu Mangal, Up Sambhagiya Krishi Prasar Adhikari, but he has not been made accused. It is further submitted that since the charge-sheet has already been filed, there is no possibility of tampering with the evidence. The applicant is in jail since 12.03.2025. In these circumstances, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 4. Learned A.G.A. opposes the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant and submits that the applicant was trapped by the Anti-Corruption Organization, Jhansi Unit but he does not dispute the fact that Sonu Mangal, Up Sambhagiya Krishi Prasar Adhikari has not been made accused. 5. Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. and going through the contents of FIR as well as other relevant documents, as per the prosecution case the money was accepted by the applicant on behalf of Sonu Mangal, Up Sambhagiya Krishi Prasar Adhikari, but he has not been made accused, I find it to be a fit case for grant of bail. 6.
