Per contra, learned A.G.A appearing for the State has opposed the contentions aforesaid and submitted that after thorough investigation, it was found that the applicant was involved in committing offence and as such, he is not entitled for any relief. 7. Having heard learned counsels for the parties and after perusal of material placed on record, it transpires that the applicant is languishing in jail since 25.04.2025; prima facie, there is no cogent piece of evidence against the applicant so as to connect him with the offence; the applicant has criminal history of two cases, which has been disclosed in para 15 of the affidavit; as also the fact that the co-accused persons Shiv Kumar @ Nanake and Guddu Pandey have been granted bail coupled with the fact that the applicant has undertaken that in case, he is granted bail, he will not misuse the liberty of same and would cooperate in the trial proceedings. 8. Considering the submissions of learned counsels for the parties, nature of accusation and severity of punishment in case of conviction, nature of supporting evidence, prima facie satisfaction of the Court in support of the charge, reformative theory of punishment and considering larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case of bail. 9.
