Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is 75 years old. The dispute is purely civil in nature. The charge-sheet in the matter has already been filed. The offence is triable by the Magistrate. The applicant is in jail since 25.09.2025 and has no previous criminal history. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released on bail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant but could not dispute the facts mentioned above. I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties as well as perused the record. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Firoz Ahmad Khan Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.
