It is further contended that the applicant is in custody since 09.12.2024 and has no criminal antecedents. It is further argued that the applicant’s signatures have not been referred for FSL examination and the officer whose signatures are allegedly forged has not been made as a prosecution witness in the charge sheet. 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.
