It is contended by learned counsel for the appellant that appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that appellant is not named in the FIR. Learned counsel submits that specific allegation of using firearm is against co-accused Battilal. It is submitted that appellant has been made accused simply on the basis of pendency of other cases. Learned counsel argues that after thorough investigation, charge-sheet has been submitted. It is argued that appellant is in custody since long. Trial of the case will take considerable time and further custody of the appellant would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3.

Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for both the appellant and looking to the fact that appellant is not named in the FIR; charge-sheet has been filed and trial will take time in its conclusion, but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of this case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the appellant on bail. 6.
