Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. False recovery of 15 kg beef is alleged to have been recovered from the possession of the applicant as there is no independent witness either to the arrest of the applicant or to the recovery of the beef. He further submits that the offences are triable by the Magistrate. The applicant has no previous criminal antecedents and he is languishing in jail since 18.09.2025. 3. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 4. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and also considering the nature of allegations, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, the fact there is no independent witness to the said recovery; considering the period for which the applicant is in jail i.e. since 18.09.2025; as also the fact that the applicant has no previous criminal history and the applicant undertakes to co-operate in the investigation and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. 6.
