Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant was not named in the FIR but during investigation through the statement of co-accused he has been made accused in the present matter and however as per allegation when he was arrested then he confessed his guilt and on his pointing out some parts of stolen vehicles were recovered but entire recovery is totally false. 4. He further submitted that it appears to be a simple case of theft but in spite of that without any cogent evidence applicant has also been challaned for offence under section 111 BNS and this fact shows that Investigating Officer of the case is misusing the provisions of organized crime. 5. He further submitted that applicant was having no previous criminal history to his credit but simultaneously along with the present matter, he has been made accused in three other cases and his criminal history has been explained in the instant bail application. 6.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of the case. 9. Considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties and the fact that applicant is not having any previous criminal history to his credit, in my view, applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 10. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed. 11.
