The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of F.I.R. lodged on 11.03.2015 against four persons, including the applicant and his family members, stating that the informant had purchased some agricultural land from the applicant through a sale deed dated 14.03.2014. Later on, when the informant went to take possession of the land, it transpired that the area of the land available on the spot was lesser than the area shown in the sale deed. Thereafter, the Lekhpal told that the land in question was recorded in the name of some other persons and the khatauni shown by the accused persons was forged. The informant demanded refund of the sale consideration and when the applicant denied to give refund, he has filed the F.I.R.
4. In the affidavit filed in support of the bail application, it has been stated that the applicant is an innocent person, he has been falsely implicated in the present case and he has no criminal history. 5.

Earlier the applicant had filed an application under Section 482 No. 157 of 2017 and his arrest was stayed by means of an order dated 06.03.2017. After the application under Section 482 Cr.P.C is disposed of by means of an order dated 02.01.2020, the applicant filed an application seeking discharge, which has been rejected. Thereafter, the applicant was taken into custody and he is languishing in jail since 17.07.2025. 9. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 17.07.2025; the investigation already stands concluded and the complainant has already filed a suit for cancellation of the sale deed in question, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail. 10. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 11. Let the applicant- Rajendra Kumar Verma be released on bail in aforementioned case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Magistrate/Court concerned, subject to the following conditions: - (i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; (iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court.
