No demand was made by the applicant. The trap team members have not found any conversation of the applicant neither any videography of the incident has been made. Applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. The offences are punishable up to maximum period of seven years. Applicant has no criminal history. The charge-sheet in the case has been filed. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 13.05.2025. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 13.05.2025 having no criminal history, charge-sheet in the case has been filed, maximum punishment is seven years, offences are punishable up to maximum period of seven years and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
