Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submitted that applicant is innocent and he has not committed any offence as alleged in the first information report.

Learned counsel further submitted that applicant is languishing in jail since 01.07.2024 and it is also undertaken on his behalf that he will abide by all terms and conditions as imposed by this Court while granting bail. 5. Per contra, learned A.G.A. appearing on behalf of State vehemently opposed the instant bail application. However, he has not contradicted the facts as stated above by learned counsel for the applicant. 6. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. appearing on behalf of the State in advance notice and perused the contents made in the first information report as well as material placed on record. 7. Applicant is languishing in jail since 01.07.2024. It is alleged in the first information report that in lieu of taking money, applicant has forged certain documents for the purpose of giving the appointment in the government department to the complainant alongwith other co-accused persons. The charge sheet has already been filed in the instant matter on 29.09.2024 and cognizance has been taken by the competent Court. There are very dim chance of completion of trial in near future. It is also undertaken on behalf of applicant that he will abide by all terms and conditions as imposed by this Court while granting bail.

In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. Order Date :- 1.5.2025/AKT (Chandra Dhari Singh, J.)
