Learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for the complainant have opposed the bail application and learned A.G.A. has submitted that the investigation already stands concluded. 7. Learned counsel for the complainant has submitted that applicant's case is different from the case of those co-accused persons who have been granted bail as it has been established during investigation that Rs.1,50,000/- has been transferred to the applicant's bank account. In response to this objection the learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that Rs.3,50,000/- were recovered from the bank account of the co-accused Rahul Ashok Kumar Jain, who has already been granted bail by this court. 8. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that even as per the F.I.R. version, the informant himself tried to secure public employment for his son and daughters by illegal means and it is only after he failed in this endeavour; that he has moved an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. in furtherance of which the F.I.R. has been lodged and the applicant took recourse of process of law after having failed in his illegal endeavour; that besides another case of similar nature, the applicant has no other previous criminal history; that the applicant is languishing in jail since 16.07.2025 whereas the investigation already stands concluded and several co-accused persons have already been granted bail, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 9. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 10.
