Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this case crime number and is languishing in jail since 31.01.2025. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present incident, merely because he is resident of same village, wherein the raid of the awarded accused Fakhruddin took place. The present FIR has been lodged with the sole motive of harassing the applicant. Nothing has been recovered from the possession of the applicant. The police team has falsely implicated the applicant and other villagers merely to create terror and pressure upon the villagers to show good work. No specific role has been assigned to the applicant. Applicant has no role for causing the injuries to the police team and the first information report lodged against the applicant is based on surmises and conjectures. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that co-accused namely Faijaan @ Faijam, Shahjad and Amir have been granted bail by this Court in Criminal Bail Application Nos. 772 of 2025 and 770 of 2025, by this Court, vide orders dated

Considering all above facts and circumstances, the nature of accusations, severity of the punishment in the case of conviction and nature of supporting evidence, reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness and prima facie case, but without commenting on merit of case, a case for bail is made out. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8.
