Order No.02
Date: 03.06.2025
1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 274/275/292/338/336(3)/111/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (B.N.S.), 2023 and Section 47(a) of the Excise Act.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has falsely been implicated in this case and for no offence he is languishing in judicial custody since 09.03.2025. The petitioner is the driver of the seized truck bearing registration no. MP-65GA-1620. The false implication of the petitioner would be evident from the fact that the seizure list prepared in this case does not bear signature of any independent witness. As such he may be enlarged on bail.
4. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer for bail.
5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is
