Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State of U.P. and perused the record. 2. The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant with a prayer to enlarge him on bail in Case Crime No.0183 of 2023, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 409 IPC, Police Station- Hathigawan, District- Pratapgarh. 3. As per prosecution case, the applicant claimed himself as Manoj Kumar and worked 17 years as assistant teacher and withdrew salary illegally and thereafter when this fact came to the notice the F.I.R. in question was lodged. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is an innocent person and has been falsely implicated in the present case and he is in jail since 03.02.2025. It is further submitted that the applicant was also implicated in one another case. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has already been filed and there is no possibility of tampering with the evidence. In these circumstances, the applicant is entitled for bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. opposes the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant and submits that the applicant by impersonating himself as Manoj Kumar and using his documents obtained appointment as assistant teacher and worked in the department as assistant teacher for about 17 years and withdrew salary and, therefore, he is not entitled to be released on bail. 6. 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 the applicant is claiming that he has been falsely implicated and he has no concerned with the said appointment, I find it to be a fit case for grant of bail. 7.
